Am I doomed relationship wise being a minority in a minority?

Coming from a black atheist, who numerous girls have either left me before a relationship could take place or during a relationship when I told them. It seems many black folk are ultra religious and any mention of nothing believing is just crazy.

I know it's hard, but I follow a young woman on Twitter who is going through some of the same issues. I find her posts and comments strengthening, even though we don't share the same cultural history. Check out Nikki (@SkepticNikki): [twitter.com]

I'm a feminist, atheist, woman in the bible belt. I get it. It sucks. I've pretty much given up on dating until I can move.

Do you not want to date women of other races?

I would hope he does. Women are women and finding someone you connect with involves so much more than "race".

It was not untrue and a great point. I am from Miami, really miss it.

If you live in the states, the church was a very big deal to the black community for political protesting to garnering rights to gathering as a community. It was through the institution that so many black americans got their rights and connected with others. The sad after effect of the church being so heavily tied into the black and minority communities, is that black atheists become numerical minorities and isolated more. However, millenials are way more atheist these days. So give the AA community some time to catch up so to speak and shake the shackles of religion off of themselves.

That is a very good point. Dr. MLK Jr. was my American hero who left a legacy in our country. His interpretation and actions from his beliefs were humanistic, but then Christ to me was a great humanist teacher, much like Dr King.

@gigihein personally I see no evidence of christ from anthropological studies. But if you meant christ as the fictional character, then okay yes.

@demifeministgal I meant Christ if he did exist. I read once years ago he was thought to be a compilation of a few people of the time. Never explored it because his existence on non-existence makes no difference to me, as in it has no effect on how I live my life.

I have found at least where I live, it is no different. One guy told me unless you tell me what you believe is better, then that is just crazy. My reply was that that is a personal exploration people usually do for themselves when they are young and I feel believing that any one religion has the real god figured out is just delusional or narcicistc.

I choose no religion or dogma except that having one precludes one to be open to other.options on god or if there is one. so maybe that belief is a dogma.

Don't give up keep trying to find an Atheist woman or a lover who keeps faith inside herself but do beware of believers who may want your smart sperm in their stupid xian eggs

Interesting question. As someone sharing your description, my experience has been this; the black women (3 I dated) 2 initially responded very negatively then after their shock wore off we saw each other. The 3rd did not care. It is all context I believe. If you are older and children are not on the table, then that eases things somewhat, IMO. Now, the women I have seen, not black, was not a issue at all. So you are correct, there is a extra level of programming/ poisoning that you will have to deal with, unfortunately.

Such is life. Their loss if they choose to discriminate, but that is something Christians often complain about and practice regularly.
