Would You Date An Atheist?

[MrSpine]

Yes, I would date an athiest

No, I only date religious people

[PhilEvans]

As an atheist myself, I dated a Christian once, which was a mistake.
Other than that, I've only ever dated atheists and agnostics, and my life partner is also an atheist.

It's a pretty big difference to reconcile in a relationship. All of the Abrahamic religions denounce atheism as a crime worthy of eternal damnation. I don't see how any religious person could be in a relationship if they believe their partner will go to hell (or equivalent) instead of meeting up in heaven (or equivalent).

[ComradeCarabao]

Being an atheist, I would prefer to date an atheist. However, if I wanted a woman I could get away with cheating on, I'd go with a religious woman; a "believer" has already been convinced that the invisible man in the sky created the planet and decided to chill (after creating the planet) on Sunday. If a woman could believe that BS, she'd believe that was I was gone all night because my "friend" needed moral support or something. 🤣

[daydreammarie]

No, it would lead me to stray from my Faith and not work out. I need to be with someone who understands being a Christian and be on the same wave link. My faith is a VERY big area in my life and would be something I'd want to share with the person I'm with and them to have the same passion. I would however date someone who was new to the faith or questioning it/interested in it. That would be a great way to witness to someone.

[Cmoreins]

I wouldn't, because I'd like to spend our time together living for what we both believe in. there's more harmony, unity, and a deepest closeness I couldn't have with anyone else. I dated a man who didn't believe in God, and it was hard on both of us. I wouldn't do that again.

[DizzyDesii]

I have but i would not again. I dont have time to be questioned about my beliefs. I want us both raising the kid Christian. I do respect a lot of atheists who were on the fence and agreed to raise our kids Christian. That was sweet. But no, i prefer my partner and i also pray together every night before bed

[Saturnxox]

Yes.
I don't really believe in god either. I don't deny that he might exist, the world is full of wonders, but I don't believe enough to devote my life to him.

[Saturnxox]

I would also date someone who is religious. I also respect that.

[TheUniqueOne96]

Yes, I would date an athiest.

I'm not religious myself and would prefer to date someone who's not religious either and whilst being an atheist doesn't guarantee that, it'd increase the likelihood.

[TheUniqueOne96]

Who have I upset?

[TheUniqueOne96]

Someone's pink and angry. 😂

[Leah1273]

I wouldn’t have a problem , but I’m an aethiest too but I wouldn’t refuse dating someone who has a religion

[nerdybutlazy]

I'm not religious so I rather date someone like that

[jshm2]

Nope. They are fucking nutty about religions and conspiracies.

They think religion is out to get them. As if they are that special to begin with.

[cth96190]

Probably not, because I could see a problem down the road.
2 Corinthians 6:14
Do not be unequally yoked together with unbelievers. For what fellowship has righteousness with lawlessness? And what communion has light with darkness?

[Kaneki05]

I only date people who go by facts not beliefs. So yes. Beliefs cause problems that cannot be solved through logic and facts that shall always lead to unreasonable arguments.

[douride2]

I am not praticing any religion as of now so I wouldn't have a problem with it.

[Redqueenn]

İ am muslim but that is no matter. Yes i would date a atheist, cristian or etc. The important is have fun together.

[Guy0nGaG]

I thought only Muslim men could date non Muslims.

[PhilEvans]

@Guy0nGaG Following the Quran to the letter, it's apostasy for any Muslim to date a non-Muslim.

[Redqueenn]

@Guy0nGaG it is for person who hidebound. İ hope, i could describe my opinion correctly.

[Redqueenn]

@PhilEvans can you based of this opinion? Write or argument. Mu opinion based of bakara in quran Your religion to you , my religion to me. İ think you should think more than freedom

[PhilEvans]

Al'Baqarah 221 "Do not marry polytheistic women until they believe; for a believing slave-woman is better than a free polytheist, even though she may look pleasant to you. And do not marry your women to polytheistic men until they believe, for a believing slave-man is better than a free polytheist, even though he may look pleasant to you. They invite ˹you˺ to the Fire while Allah invites ˹you˺ to Paradise and forgiveness by His grace.1 He makes His revelations clear to the people so perhaps they will be mindful."

A Muslim man is expected to convert a non-muslim woman to Islam before he can marry her, but a Muslim woman should not marry a non-muslim man, because we'll lead you to hell.

[StephenCF]

@Guy0nGag @PhilEvans I’m an agnostic who’s dating a practicing Muslim girl, and her equally religious family know and accept this. I dunno what the Quran would have to say about it, but I think we all know (even most of the religious) that anyone who follows a holy book fundamentally nowadays (word for word) are plain psychopaths. I’m aware conversion is necessary to marry, but since you guys referenced girls dating non-Muslims as a sin, I thought I’d give my two cents...

[Guy0nGaG]

@StephenCF Most Americans claim to be Christians yet they don't fully follow the old testament (because it's illegal) and American Muslims don't fully follow the Quoran (because that's also illegal). So if anybody who wants to bash Muslims for not following their religion to its entirety, then may he who is without sin cast the first stone. Asalamu Alaycum.

[PhilEvans]

@Guy0nGaG You might note I at no point bashed anyone of any religion, I merely pointed out what scripture said. This comes down to the issue that all religions have, you simply cannot live in the modern world following books that were written 2000ish years ago.

At some point you have to make a modern interpretation, and start to pick and choose which pieces of texts you follow and which you don't.

Personally that all breaks down into a logically inconsistent position. My atheism doesn't come from a place of ignorance, a claim often levelled at us. I've read multiple translations of most of the major religious texts in common use and come to the conclusion that I cannot put my trust in any book that claims absolute truth but requires interpretation and selective editing out of parts no longer deemed correct.

[Redqueenn]

@PhilEvans Well what can you to me? You know that there is not aphorose in İslam. İ choose that who i date. You dont ok? This affair raleted Allah and i. İ dont want broke Your heart but you should change yourself. İ still am muslim and i choose.

[hellacray]

As long as she doesn't start rubbing it in my face and start saying stuff like anyone that believes in God is an idiot.

People have their beliefs and you should respect it.

[Kurαȷ]

I would only date an atheist.
But I would make an exception for non-practicing theists who keep their faith to themselves.

[Anonymous]

While my faiith is important to me. One thing i've learned is whether i date is not important to god apparently 🤣.
So yeah if i don't give other faiths a chance or lack thereof i'm probably not dating. Lol

[MountAverage]

I think 95% of all women I have ever dated where Atheists.

[StephenCF]

I’m with a Muslim girl now, but alternatively I would’ve dated an atheist like I always tried to before, yes

[TheSimonymous]

It says in the Bible that one should not be unequally yoked with the unbeliever, so no thanks.

[OddBeMe]

As an atheist, I can say we’re just like you. You’re an atheist for 999 gods like Zeus or Krishna. We just go one further.

[zagor]

Yes, as long as they weren't militant about it, just as I wouldn't date someone who was too fanatical about their religion.

[_no_one_]

I myself am an atheist, my whole family is atheistic (except my grandparents)
So why not? Lol

[Quackthulu]

I would only date an atheist

[Fromdusktilldawn]

Of course, I would rather not date a strong religious person

[MannMitAntworten]

I have... but why do they always moan/scream for god and sonny jesus during sex?

[clampfan101]

She has to be Christian like me so we can have a Christian family.

[AlexDeLarge]

I would. I don't date religious people or extreme opposites like Satanists cause it's the same from the opposite side

[alice55]

Depend on if he respect religious people or not.

[hbg84]

I agree. If they respect others religious choice then I wouldn't have an issue. But if they were one of those asshole atheist like most the celebrity atheist are then I would have a problem

[hbg84]

There are those atheist that are always being disrespectful toward religious people. They try and case a scene all the time.

[alice55]

@hbg84 Yes, those are horrible and extremely rude. They can't accept people with others opinion than their own (which is majority of atheist in general).

[PhilEvans]

Please don't generalise about atheists like that.
The majority of us respect your right to have religious beliefs, we just take offence at the default presumption of religion and we are discriminated against in the majority of countries.

[hbg84]

I've never met an atheist that was respectful of others religious views. Every atheist I've known was a complete douche.

[alice55]

@PhilEvans I'm not generalizing but when atheist act like religious people are some kind of freak then I'm so try but this is just rude and irrespecutful. This is not ok.
I'm sorry but it say you're from the UK and there no atheist is discriminated against, not at all on the contrary is it religious people that are mocked, irrespected and made fun of as if they're some kind of weird species that do not belong in the right era.

Is it true in some countries atheist aren't liked but in first world countries it's religion people that are "bullied" for their belief.
If you live in the UK then you have no right to whine about being discriminated cause you aren't being discriminated and others countries doesn't matter since you do not live in them. Also in others countries religious one it's those of another religion then the majority who get bullied and even killed for it.

[hbg84]

@PhilEvans why don't you take your atheist babble to a Muslim ran country like Iran and start preaching atheism I guarantee you they will attack you and or kill you.

[PhilEvans]

@hbg84 Thank you for proving my point.

[Larry30]

Relationships are hard enough and I want someone who has the same play book as I do.

[redvelvetcx]

I basically am an atheist so yeah

[redvelvetcx]

Freedom of religion: exists
The person that downvote this: imma ignore that

Y’all mad just causes not everyone follows the same beliefs as you, so frickin childish😂

[TacosRAwesome]

I'd date an atheist over a hyper religious person.

[mrArcher]

If she makes it a point to define her beliefs by that, no.

[David_Bayer]

I'm an atheist and I would date a not to extreme believer.

[Malik00]

Depends on how much of a jackass they are about it.

[Anonymous]

Yes, of course. It's the religious nutters I worry about, not the atheists.

[thicc97x]

I'm sorry, but if you don't date someone because they're an atheist, that is ridiculous.

[hopegirly]

No because I want to date a Christian man

[Anonymous]

I don't date people who believe in imaginary things so no

[Brian___1731]

Only if they don't interfere in my beliefs

[Agape93]

Yeah. My girls antitheist.

[Anonymous]

No. I don't hate them, but most of them have values and views that are very different from mine.

[nathanp97]

You mean like not thinking everyone part of the LGBTQ group is going to hell for their sins? 😂

[CrazyRay43]

... but they really don’t... but your “values & views” are hypocritical and harmful to human existence

[Opinion Owner]

@CrazyRay43 Here's what I meant. You are the typical left radicals. And obviously not my views are hypocritical, but those who constantly talk about "tolerance" and "openness", but are not tolerant of any views other than their own. You are dangerous to society. The world will be a much better place without people like you.

[Anonymous]

Sure, if they were a goth
I'm agnostic too

[postempestas]

Since I am one 🙋‍♀️

[pigoat]

Only if they looked like a pornstar

[Unit1]

Sure, that's ideal for me anyway.

[NorthwestRider]

Both my fiancée and myself are Atheists

[AdithyaR]

I'm an atheist myself so it'd be perfect

[Anonymous]

As an atheist myself, I'd actually prefer it.

[qxeenrrose]

Yes.

[Dchrls78104]

No. I'm a Christian. It would never work.

[Iron_Man]

Not once I find out its a deal breaker

[SavageGirl101]
