I have before and could again. Tho I'll say they can't be the piece of shit atheists. There's simply not believing yourself and then there's having a chip on your shoulder, having to prove a point to others, and looking at/treating everyone as of they're stupid.
The latter is far too common. I remember being in college with an atheist who was failing the physics class we shared, but looked at me who was passing with an A, as if I was an idiot who couldn't think clearly.
That if only I was "smart" enough I'd believe what he believes. That's the sign of a zealot and usually some brainwashing. Atheists tend to have that attitude. That if you were smart enough you'd be atheist.Normally I’d say no. I believe in God and I’m an evangelical Christian. I met someone who I really really like and care about but he’s an atheist. He treats me so much better than the previous “Christian” guy I was with. I’m literally so much happier with this new guy so I don’t see it as a problem how I normally would.
He never forces things on me and I never force things on him. We’re both respectful towards each other.
So the answer is yes but only in this instance. Normally it’s a no.I think if you are religious then it is beneficial to the future of the relationship to choose someone that shares your beliefs. Same as if you are not religious to choose someone that also chooses not to follow religion. Different belief systems and values in the same relationship could cause issues as time goes on.

This way you don't have to challenge your beliefs.To me it is not important if someone belives in god or not. The important thing is that somebody has something they can hold onto during difficult times. This might be a material thing, a person or for some it is religion. As long as my partner can gain personal stability and happiness, i am happy too.
Absolutely. I'm not religious, so I would prefer it. I actually wouldn't want to deal with someone who was religious. Belief in God is okay, I guess. And I'm totally fine with spirituality but not religion.
yes but while i am an atheist myself i would prefer to date a religious girl. they are happier. prefer the traditional gender roles i want. they have higher birth rates which suits my goals of a big family. and less likely to have annoying left wing activist bullshit to deal with
Eh depends on the person who is an atheist. I dated one and he was a HUGE ASSHOLE! I'm not a religious person. I also don't like talking about religion because people have so many different views and it can lead to huge arguments.
Yeah.
I don't believe in religion myself and I'd only want a partner who does the same, more likely to be the case with an atheist.
Agnostic or none-religion believing monotheist would be fine too, as I fall under the former.I am one. I prefer people who don't hold superstitious, magical, popular myths, or conspiracy theory views.
I could only date an atheist. I have already had more than my share of crazy bullshit in my life, I’m not about to let any more in.
No I believe in God would prefer a mate who has the same beliefs as me
I only date atheists. Now I'm married to one. Almost all Seattle professionals are atheists. I'm not sure I have a Seattle friend that is religious.
I am an atheist personally, so it would be an easy decision to date someone like minded. I probably would not consider dating a serious Christian.
If he doesn't interfere with my faith, it will. And my ex-boyfriend was also an atheist. There was no problem. We respected each other.
Yeah, I've already done that. He didn't identify as an atheist, but he was very similar. He didn't deny the existence of God, but he didn't necessarily believe in God either.
I would love to have a partner who believes. However my heart was broken so hard from a Christian guy (ex fiancé ) that I look at someone’s heart
I'm an atheist but I really don't care. I avoid talking about religion or the absence thereof.
So I would find appreciation in a partner who is of the same mindset in regards to that.Since I'm one, sure.
But it's more on how "toxic" the mindset is. Same with religious folks.I certainly could. My wife and I are agnostics. I lean heavily in the direction of atheism. My wife leaned in the direction of theism.
