Really like this guy, but feel like he's too good for me?

I have this guy friend and I really like him as more than a friend. He knows this, and he's so sweet about it, he tries so hard to make sure that its not awkward now that I've told him, and we stayed friends and we actually got closer since I've told him. The problem is, with every passing day I like him more and more. He's pretty much the best guy I've ever met, no lie. I live in a place that is one dominant religion, and although I was baptized into that religion, I don't really believe in it anymore. He's part of that religion and he really believes in it. He's so strong in it and all about doing what's right, and I'm all the things that this religion is against. I feel like I'm not good enough for him and he'll never like me because of how I am. I love talking to him, but I don't know if I should start talking to him less because the more I talk to him, and the more I text him, the more I fall for him. So I don't know what I should do or if I should continue with how it has been. The thing is, he never actually said he didn't like me back. So I'm left with a kind of hope, that maybe he kinda likes me but wanted to get to know me better. Today when we were talking about how he's like my little angel on my shoulder but I always listen to the devil, he replied and ended his text with "Love ya, little devil." I say love you, or I wuv you to him all the time, cause he knows I mean it just as a friend love, not as I think I'm in love with him, so I know that's how he meant it too, but still I couldn't help but get excited by that. Like he said it, without me saying it first. How can I make stuff like this not such a big deal? Should I stop talking to him, or at least reduce how much I talk to him. I've been texting him like every day for almost a week except Sunday. and its not just like, oh I'm going to text him hey, to start a conversation, it's like oh I have to tell him this, so it's hard for me not to talk to him..any advice?

I don't need my self esteem pumped up, and this is irrelevant now anyways, because we're just friends. is there any way to delete questions? Idk...
