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.

[MountAverage]

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

[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

[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.

[StephenCF]

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

[Quackthulu]

I would only date an atheist

[_no_one_]

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