Ladies , if a guy is an atheist a deal breaker?

[hmtr23]

I'm asking because I've been told by several girls they won't date me for this reason. im not the type that puts down religion I just have my beliefs as well

[lostgirl_searching]

As long the guy accepts the fact, that I believe in God and won't have religion or God conversations I will date him. I have nothing against anyone that's an atheist. Plus I have plenty of friends that are atheist and we all get along. Except for one because he's being disrespectful. I never mentioned God or showed him Christian quotes because I know he doesn't believe and he constantly shows me atheist stuff and what some Christian person did. That I don't like but I'm nice enough to let it go because I don't believe in arguing when it comes to religion. So if it makes him happy showing me this stuff. I will keep letting him do it until he realizes himself what he is doing is unfair.

[hmtr23]

yea I understand that , I have my beliefs but I stay away from religious talks and I respect people for sticking to their beliefs but like you said it gets overbearing when they continuesly bring it up

[lostgirl_searching]

That's good! And yes exactly.
Plus my parents didn't force me to go to church, because they didn't want me to be " brainwashed" haha. They have been to church ever since they were kids and as soon they were old enough to make their own choices they stopped going. They didn't want me or my sister and brother to think that we shouldn't date someone that believed different. Even though I believe in God, I can't date an religious person.

[hmtr23]

that's how my parents were as well , and I can't date a really religious person it's just to much

[lostgirl_searching]

Right it really is, I tried and couldn't do it.

[GinaChapis]

I don't seek any of those qualities in his life, I would not date him if he were religious thoigh, he could bring up religion for everything, try to convert me, or even limit our sexual life. Those are a big no no for me. Also, depends on where you live, look for girls that are non-religious.

[Razzle-Bedazzle]

It depends on his personality. A lot of athesists I know personally are very aggressive and confrontational. So I can only judge by my personal experiences with atheists.. which are all negative. I'd need to know him on a deeper level before I'd consider him being an athesist a deal-breaker

[ShortCircuit]

Why don't you just date people who share your beliefs? Very rarerly do religious people want to date atheists, and vice versa. I highly doubt it is a deal breaker for girls who are also atheists.

[Lucifer_666]

I don't think they'd mind unless they're very religious

[XRabbitHeartX]

I'll be honest, yes. I want someone who shares my faith and can help me grow in my spiritual life.

[Prochto]

oh Jesuuuus help that young woman grow in her spiritual life ameeeeeeeeeeen

[XRabbitHeartX]

@Prochto Glad to have gotten that out of your system yes? I'll keep being happy and positive. You can dislike me all you want. It's a reflection of you and nobody else. Have a good day.

[Prochto]

Jesus loves you dear sister ameeeen

[karma13]

Yes, but for the opposite. I'm an atheist, but I couldn't be in a serious relationship with someone who is very religious. I was raised a Catholic but I have become an atheist over the years, and although I have no judgement if someone is religious, I wouldn't be able to date them for long. I have dated guys who are only a little religious, and that doesn't bother me (as long as it doesn't have a huge focus on their life).

[Tartiflette]

Personally, it's quite the opposite for me. Not being an atheist would be a deal breaker.

[hmtr23]

well that's a first lol

[Tartiflette]

Perhaps where you live but I live in the land of atheist

[hmtr23]

I need to move there , where I live if I mention I'm an atheist I get looked down at

[Lucifer_666]

@Tartiflette I love free thinkers. Do you live in Scandinavia?

[Tartiflette]

Is it hard to date women who are also atheist?

[Tartiflette]

@Lucifer_666 nope, I live in France

[hmtr23]

no just atheists aren't common where I live

[Lucifer_666]

@Tartiflette Oh, okay. I'm also an atheist

[Tartiflette]

@Lucifer_666 I could've guessed with your username

[Lucifer_666]

@Tartiflette Explain that. Some satanists believe in Satan. I'm open to the idea, I just don't like the idea of god

[Tartiflette]

@Lucifer_666 You're right, satanism is also a form of religion.

[Lucifer_666]

@Tartiflette I wouldn't say that. It's more of a lifestyle. It doesn't have rules like religion. Although LaVeyan satanism is more like a religion because it has commandments

[CHARismatic110]

It becomes problematic in the long run. Even when you're not actively trying to force your beliefs on each other, it comes up. From experience, just mentioning God around some atheists gets them thinking that you're trying to force something on them. I know and get along well with quite a few of them but we have mutual respect for each other.

Not sure if I could date someone that doesn't believe in anything.

[foighveoirgho]

If they don't shut up about it and they tell small children that god doesn't exist and your dead relatives and pets will never see you again in any kind of after life no matter how hard you wish for it or miss them. Then yes, if not then then no, it's not a deal breaker.

[hailey_mailman]

My ex boyfriend was an atheist and the only conflict we had over religion was resolved in a mutual understanding of each other's beliefs and a stronger respect :/ I don't see the issue with clashing religions if you're willing to accept each other's

[LB33777]

For me yes.
No I am not religious.
They do come off as elitist.

"Ah look at me a young educated man I don't believe in god I am smarter then you in every way possible!"

Okay honey we get you don't believe in god. But you're not better then anyone. Please stop you ain't special.

Same goes for religious people too.

[beccaboo2]

Being an atheist isn't a deal breaker, it's a deal maker!

[Lucifer_666]

Awesome answer

[hmtr23]

yea if I could find a girl that's an atheist it would be a definite selling point

[Anonymous]

I wouldn't mind being friends with you, but I wouldn't choose to a life partner who believed in absolutely nothing. No Creator, no afterlife, no grand design, no miracles, no reincarnation, no deity, no mystery, no power, no plan? That sounds like a pretty desolate exiatence to me. Thinking that all the wonders in this world were nothing more than a freak accident? Nope, sorry. That just just shuts down way too many deep late night conversations. And it obliterates hope.

[Daqueennumberone]

Yessss cause I'm not just talking about the person being an atheist but if we didn't have the same beliefs then he wouldn't know my values that come along with my religion 😬

[TuMeManques]

For me it is because so much of my actual day to day life revolves around my religion. Also I'd want someone to help reinforced those beliefs to my kids, not nullify them by his actions however well meaning he might be.

[kkendall]

Yes, because I want to date someone who has similar beliefs as me. I have no problem being friends with atheists though

[moonpie89]

Yes, it is. We'd be too different since it's a big part of my life

[bellaf666]

It's a dealbreaker if he's religious to be honest

[Anonymous]

We live in a weird ass world, atheism is on the rise yet, if you openly admit it people will trust you less, and I heard that womens deal breaker was atheist even tho she was one her self😒

[Anonymous]

For me, a girl being atheist is a deal-breaker. And if I was a girl, a man being atheist is deal-breaker.

[Anonymous]

I prefer someone from my own religion. I would date but when it comes to marriage it is a problem.

[Anonymous]

Of course, no God, no sex. Learn to live with it or convert to the One True God

[shan_shan]

yes it's completely a deal breaker

[Prochto]

Who cares these bigots?

[hmtr23]

very true I'm just curious to see

[Anonymous]

it's a turn off if he is a believer, to me anyway

[reixun]

Nopee
