I'm actually separated and getting a divorce for this very reason. It is very difficult. I'm just lucky we are mature enough to part ways responsibly.

I have to laugh... I am single as of December 2016, and my daughter has been my biggest advocate for dating, including WHO and HOW. I mentioned on man who had written to me (via an online dating service) who has many nice qualities, but at the mention of his being christian, her voice took on a serious timbre, and she said "NO, Mother, you cannot date him." Period! I try to be respectful of everyone else's preferences, but dating a serious church-goer would eventually cause problems. I would much prefer dating someone with similar beliefs to my own!

We were pretty godless in england where I was brought up, and pretty reticent about sharing beliefs openly - It wasnt really the done thing, so lots of choice but I never ever even knew a catholic. I think it might be hard to raise children if you have faith /different faiths I am grateful that I escaped those choices.I was born in 1948 post war and I think people just wanted a quiet life and the capacity to buy things.

As I consider a positive relationship is one based on honesty and respect, and I can not respect a theist person that dishonestly values faith (belief without evidence) a superior means to find (Truth) Things that can be demonstrated then testable reality, I do not waste my time dating someone I can not respect.

I've dealt with life by seeking open minded people. It's a survival tactic that atheists need to keep us sane. There was so much that I could've said or harped about but then I'd have had no life at all. It's tough enough trying to find that proverbial "needle in the haystack" that we desire to settle down and procreate with so imagine how hard it is to find that one atheist. I married an open minded christian and it lasted for 21 years. This site helps and I wish you luck. Question: Why did you mention your race?

When I was younger I was believing that I will be able to change thinking of people and if there are different opinies one day will be harmony between they. Up to present I noticed that you can never change other people, because it's too hard to change yourself. So, unfortunately I think there aren't many chances between a religious and an atheist if they want to get married. They can be friends. But of course, the miracles happens.

Hi, Qiru, and welcome to the website,

This website has a bit of a learning curve so here is some information that might be helpful.

You earn website points, and help other members get to know you better, when you write an informational profile that includes your hobbies and interests, and answer all the profile questions, since that's the first place many people look when they see a new member.

Also, the website uses your profile to find member matches, so the more details you include, the better the match.

Then you make comments and write your own posts to earn more points and privileges; for instance, at level two you can private email people. You get different perks with each level, and when you reach level eight you get an agnostic T-shirt.

To find members near you, click on the "Meet" button at the top of the page, then on "Members," and enter your preferred search parameters.
Or click on the "About" button at the top of the page to find links to FAQ or the website tutorial.
