Fist off I'd like to thank you all for your advice. And I'm pretty sure you all hit this nail on the head. I just had to bring it up and get it out of the way. Turns out she's not a believer, she's (as someone put it) a belieeeeeeeever. I told her my position and that it wouldn't change. She proceeded to try to convert me with the same old tired arguments, and that's pretty much where it ended. Oh well, moving on.

Pull the plug. Yesterday.
You are wasting your time.

She's going to make every effort to "convert" you, whether either of you realize it or not.

If you can agree not to talk about religion or politics, proceed.

But I want a man who shares my values.

I think you should discuss your lack of belief as soon as possible. I think youre flirting with future resentment by hiding this part of you. Its a bit dishonest not to reveal who you really are. She deserves the truth about you, as do you.

Depends on how strongly she is with religion never a evangelical

I couldn't put up with that level of self-delusion.

Run for the hills.

I took a personal vow to never waste my time with another Christian woman. No matter what they say, it is a lie. It always leads to being "unequally yoked".

it's many paths to one destination. if her beliefs make her happy then who are we to stand in her way? if they don't then help her there. otherwise I'd stay if she's good in the sack and makes you happy. if not then move on.

Nothing ventured, nothing gained.

Does she know you are an atheist? If not, that will most likely be a problem for her in the future. When your trepidations and her's collide, it won't be pretty. I think I'd at least let her know I didn't believe first and see what happens from there.

I would proceed by asker her about this instead of us.

It would definitely be an issue for me. I would not waste my time with someone deeply invested in faith.

I personally would do an about face before the emotional connection is made. It is unlikely she's just gonna say "yeah, you're right". She'll likely try to convince you there is a god and get pissed and hurt when she's unsuccessful. Booty call, friends with benefits, but partner, naw. My most recent ex was a believer - I actually took her and her kids to church. I didn't care if she believed, or anyone else. Short of Jesus showing up and putting my finger in the hole, ain't gonna happen. Looking back, I wish it had ended sooner. Lost 5 years I won't get back. I won't date a believer again. Too big a chasm. Too many arguments.

I looked to see where you were located before answering because, depending on region/local, degrees of beliefs vary

That said, if she were from the southern U S & Pentecostal, I'd say break it off now. Faith is strong here & that whole "do not ve unequally yoked" thing is taken real seriously.

Once she finds out you are a "non-believer", you are either going to be Sstan's minion sent to temp her or you are going to be her pet project because women tend to like playing w/broken toys & they like to "fix" their men. You will go into every prayer list in that church & her online support group.

Do yourself a solid, tell her you are an atheist & move on.

I'm sorry i think its doomed to failure, if you want to have any chance at all you need to have a very open and honest discussion with the lady about your athiesm and what it means to you, and her faith and what it means to her and how to cross those to aspects of your life......
as someone who dated and was dumped by a christian girl I can tell you that it is not what you think it is that will break you up. it was not me not going to church, she rarely went iether, it was not that I did not believe in God or the Bible, it was that she wanted to share books she was reading and things here faith was teaching her and I did not want to take part in those things because of their christian nature

Maybe you should raise the issue for discussion; if she recoils like you are one of hells demons it may be a doomed relationship ....maybe she will be relieved that you are not a christian and she can stop pretending.... but you won't know till you ask

i never dated much but i never knowingly dated a christian. i've dated nonjews. i can't even imagine having a serious relationship with a true believer. that would be like... dating a republican or something!

You should let her believe what she wants but will she be ok if you are an atheist? Can you not just love each other as good human beings? is it not possible? Why God has to destroy everything on either side?

Does she know you don’t believe?

If you tell her that you are an atheist and she asks you whether it hurts, it's time to pull the plug.

Did you tell her frankly that you are not into religion?

Respect has to be both ways. I don't see any harm in dating someone who is religious.

Do not under estimate the power of Sex or Love making afinity.

You should let her know that you are an atheist, and that you have no intention or interest in becoming religious. Then she can decide if that is something that she can live with or not. Once you both have the information that you need, you can both decide if you should continue. The sooner you do that the better, it only becomes more difficult with time
