I wouldn't get tangled up with an atheist to begin with.
For a Christian, dating a non-Christian is unwise, and marrying one is not an option. Second Corinthians 6:14 (KJV) tells us not to be “unequally yoked” with an unbeliever. The imagery is of two incompatible oxen sharing the same yoke. Instead of working together to pull the load, they would be working against each other. While this passage does not specifically mention marriage, it definitely has implications for marriage. The passage goes on to say that there is no harmony between Christ and Belial (Satan). There can be no spiritual harmony in a marriage between a Christian and a non-Christian. Paul goes on to remind believers that they are the dwelling place of the Holy Spirit, who inhabits their hearts at salvation (2 Corinthians 6:15-17). Because of that, they are to be separate from the world—in the world, but not of the world—and nowhere is that more important than in life’s most intimate relationship—marriage.

The Bible also says, “Do not be misled: ‘Bad company corrupts good character’” (1 Corinthians 15:33). Having any kind of intimate relationship with an unbeliever can quickly turn into something that is a hindrance to your walk with Christ. We are called to evangelize the lost, not be intimate with them. There is nothing wrong with building quality friendships with unbelievers, but that is as far as it should go. If you were dating an unbeliever, what would honestly be your priority, romance or winning a soul for Christ? If you were married to an unbeliever, how would the two of you cultivate a spiritual intimacy in your marriage? How could a quality marriage be built and maintained if you disagree on the most crucial issue in the universe—the Lord Jesus Christ?

No because they lack creativity, they lack an open mind, they lack imagination, they lack morals, they lack spirituality, they lack recreation, they lack celebration.

How are the supposed to partake in Christmas or Hanukkah, or Halloween or any of the Day of The Dead or Brazilian Carnival.
Most of those are Christian Celebrations fyi
.

ABSOLUTELY NOT

Lliam · Accepted Answer

Sure. It would mean that she was bright and educated.
I was raised Catholic but started drifting away as a teen when I started asking questions about dogma.
I find religion interesting and have studied world religions, mythology, ancient history, cultural anthropology, and a bit of philosophy.
I'd say that I am agnostic because I'm not a hard-nosed atheist. I actually have spiritual beliefs.
I'm very skeptical about the existence of gods and I don't like religions. So I wouldn't marry someone who was religious, but being open to exploring spirituality is healthy.

At your age, I understand your enthusiasm and idealism about relationships. However, experience will teach you that love alone is not enough to sustain a relationship. Common interests and shared activities are important to maintain a bond. I would not want to be married to an atheist.

SecretsofKB · Answer

Yep. Funny enough, my current partner is an atheist. She's also fine with me being an atheist. And the world keeps on spinning.

WhatTheHeckkkk · Answer

No, I try to be equally yoked.

No chance. All the Atheists I've met (online and in person) were very vocal about their Atheism and their disgust with religion. Some of them were more judgmental and vocal than religious people. Even if they weren't vocal about it and didn't care, there is still that huge gaping divider between them and I.

Unfortunately, when it comes to religion, politics, and other beliefs, you need to have an agreement otherwise it doesn't work. I've learnt that the hard way in the past.

I married a woman who is religious. Wouldn't want it any other way.

eblehe · Answer

People who care about their own religion would not prefer to be with an atheist. Personally, I am not an atheist but I'm not religious either. So it doesn't matter to me if he's an atheist but I wouldn't date an overly religious person. As long as they're not an atheist who tries to make me one or a religious person who tries to convert me. Because no matter how much we think we can live without a conflict, conflicts would occur.

Oigit · Answer

People can be fanatical about their religion and people can be fanatical about not having one. So it would very much come do to how big of a deal it is to them. I have been at a point where I really, really wanted to tell someone to go be religious somewhere else and been at the same point with people that are atheist. Simply because they couldn't shut up about it.

Browneye57 · Answer

It's not such a big deal for the couple, it's when you have children and then parenting gets planned and discussed, and then who's going to decide for THEM? It makes parenting a muddy mess. You'll see.

Besides, if you're spiritual and your man is dead, it eventually leaves you with a very hollow feeling. Unbelievers end up in HELL.

FinalFantasyBro · Answer

If she doesn't constantly force her lack of faith of god down my throat I might consider but all of the atheist I unfortunately met do keep talking about not believing in god, trust me I don't entirely believe in God either but I don't constantly mention it to others.

Deserter · Answer

No, I don't think they're a bad person or anything but we need to share certain values. Not only that but I'd feel an emotional disconnect from them in the sense that I think we'll be together forever when we die and she thinks this is only temporary.

VanillaSalt · Answer

I wouldn’t marry. I’ll have a life partner but marriage isn’t worth it anymore. It’s just a big scam to give men’s money to The government and keep them poor.

ShinyPidgey · Answer

No. Because I hate the idea of marriage. I would be fine with being with anybody from any life path. As long as they aren't hurting anyone and would accept me.

Probably not. When it comes to religion, I think having the same belief is a must have when getting marred

I can't imagine that being a determining Factor one way or the other. I was once engaged to a minister who was an atheist. She thought it was funny.

TheUniqueOne96 · Answer

I don't believe in marriage, so I'd do a long term relationship instead.

AncientWisdom · Answer

I’m not an atheist but I’m also not a Christian. Or none of that other control the herd type stuff

Dchrls78104 · Answer

No way I could. I'm a Christian. The gulf between the two sets of values is too deep to be bridged by marriage; we would not be comfortable, compatible, or happy.

I wouldn't care if she didn't believe in a "higher power", as long as she was a decent human being. She'll figure it out on her own.

crmoore · Answer

Yes. Though as someone who's technically agnostic, practically atheist, I'd imagine that isn't much of a surpruse.

KostasKouvalis · Answer

Yeah, I'm not very religious anymore, but Christian would be fine too

Manuel2 · Answer

Yes, as long she will allow me to keep my beliefs. That is why I do not like those Jesus Pimpers. Their god is Money, not God.

Why not, It doesn't matter if he is religious or non-religious, it is important to be human.
