I haven't had the fortune of meeting Atheist women. I'm sure it's because of my lack of patience. Or better yet, letting my sexual desires to lead me. I'm 63 years old. I realized I am Atheist 30 years ago. Yet all the women in my life believe in ghost.

In my case it is a problem the there is even any attempt at conversion. Practice what YOU want, enjoy yourself. I feel discussion is difficult because of always trying to convince me she has the answer.

I would love to have more viable agnostic/atheist ladies to choose from. Unfortunately either smoking, drugs, extreme politics, or not attracted have prevented me having a relationship like that so far. With my ex wife, religion was a non issue. With the two ladies I have seen since the divorce, one was not an issue, the other was only an issue when I disagreed with her other life choices, then all of a sudden it was "chaos" in her life because god was warning her.

WOW

I have been an athiest for around 30 years. I have never even dated a athiest. Not a big deal at all. I dated one woman who was a little too Jesus for me and I broke that off. 2 Catholics, a Muslim and a Buddist (Tibetan). All were/are very cool. Easier when there are no kids being raised. To me, either cool or not cool. That has been a issue for the women, not me.

It is more a function of how they think. They seek the right answer, rather than seeking to be right. Most religious people can't do that.

It all depends on you and them. As long as you are not a fanatic, it may even make it more interesting.

I don’t think it is critical. It depends on how religious, and dedicated to that religion they are. My wife believes ( but does not partake in religion) we get along fine. We have friends where he is Protestant and she is a Jew. They celebrate eaches holidays and been in love for 40 years...

Cold and heat don’t get along.
Can’t stand a wife who would teach
my kids to believe in imaginary beings.
Not withstanding, they’re exceptional
cases.

Will not date a really religious person ,a casual one that does not go to church

It is rather important to me, largely because I need to respect the woman I'm with. I cannot respect my partner in the ways that matter to me if she is deeply religious, has extreme political views, disregards science and reason, and so on. A close alignment of viewpoints in certain areas is an alignment of values, and that is a cornerstone for my relationships.

For me, a very strong preference.
