Is their evidence for this view. how supported is this by the 4 madhab's


“Imitation generates friendship and love, and regarding them as allies in the inside, just as loving them on the inside generates imitating them on the outside.” Allaah tells us that there is no (true) believer who takes a kaafir as a friend, for whoever takes a kaafir as friend is not a believer. Imitation on the outside implies that a person loves (the one whom he imitates), and so it is forbidden.”
Ibn Taymiyyah, IslamQA .com

I think his view is explained in quran tafsir by ibn kathir



Allah forbids His believing servants from having Jews and Christians as friends, because they are the enemies of Islam and its people, may Allah curse them. Allah then states that they are friends of each other and He gives a warning threat to those who do this,


[وَمَن يَتَوَلَّهُمْ مِّنكُمْ فَإِنَّهُ مِنْهُمْ]


(And if any among you befriends them, then surely he is one of them.) Ibn Abi Hatim recorded that `Umar ordered Abu Musa Al-Ash`ari to send him on one sheet of balance the count of what he took in and what he spent. Abu Musa then had a Christian scribe, and he was able to comply with `Umar's demand. `Umar liked what he saw and exclaimed, "This scribe is proficient. Would you read in the Masjid a letter that came to us from Ash-Sham'' Abu Musa said, `He cannot.'' `Umar said, "Is he not pure'' Abu Musa said, "No, but he is Christian.'' Abu Musa said, "So `Umar admonished me and poked my thigh (with his finger), saying, `Drive him out (from Al-Madinah).' He then recited,


[يَـأَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ لاَ تَتَّخِذُواْ الْيَهُودَ وَالنَّصَـرَى أَوْلِيَآءَ]


(O you who believe! Take not the Jews and the Christians as friends...)'' Then he reported that `Abdullah bin `Utbah said, "Let one of you beware that he might be a Jew or a Christian, while unaware.'' The narrator of this statement said, "We thought that he was referring to the Ayah,


[يَـأَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ لاَ تَتَّخِذُواْ الْيَهُودَ وَالنَّصَـرَى أَوْلِيَآءَ]


(O you who believe! Take not the Jews and the Christians as friends, )'' Allah said,


[فَتَرَى الَّذِينَ فِى قُلُوبِهِم مَّرَضٌ]


(And you see those in whose hearts there is a disease...) A disease of doubt, hesitation and hypocrisy.


[يُسَـرِعُونَ فِيهِمْ]

Of course they should take non-Muslims as friends. You see, no matter how much atheists can frustrate me, they have a darn good point when they assert that religion promotes aggressive tribalism- in other words, people can be 'inferior' or 'not worthy of friendship' simply because they pray to a different god than you do. It's primitive thinking that belongs in a primitive era, and has no place in the 21st century where people of all faiths and races live together and aspire to get along.

Making a non-believer into a believer is a precondition into taking him as a friend.
