Any answer would be nothing but speculation.

In general, l think that may be true. Things are so bad right now, l might consider dating a Nun!

I suppose I would date a passively religious person. I know people who are religious that have no problem with atheists. Although, not many. I would never date a Fundamentalist of any . I also doubt no Fundamentalist would knowingly date an atheist. Considering the Pew Research Center's data on attitudes toward atheists by religious people, I would tend to guess that the answer to your true-false question is probably true

Seems likely. Due to the indefensible nature of theism, an atheist is a greater emotional threat to a religious person than the converse would be.

My immediate thought is yes

Hah!

I think that may be false. But, it's only my opinion.

I think so. Isn't there a Christian injunction against marrying outside the faith? I think it reads like "Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers."

I think it just depends on each person's personal experiences. Until recently I had no problem dating a religious person but given how sour my last relationship got because of her religion I'm very hesitant to date another religious person. However in all honesty I might just go on a case by case scenario since I cannot surmise that all theists are going to be the same. I feel like this also goes for us as atheists too, while I have gotten turned down plenty of times as soon as they find out I'm non religious (on tinder too imagine that) because I "can't possibly have any morals if I don't believe in anything". There are plenty of others that have looked past it.

Hmmm. I'd say that's true.

Not always true...not always false. It depends on the conviction of the religious person. As an atheist I wouldn't date a deeply religious woman - because that would be a recipe for disaster. But if I could find a religious woman who was as willing to let me do my own thing, as I am her, then we would be okay. Now if it came to marriage, I would have to pause, because if we had kids, that would cause another issue.

To be fair though, I also wouldn't want to date someone who was dogmatically into "woo woo" spirituality, or being a vegan, or an anti-vaxxer, just to name a few. Just because someone isn't religious, doesn't mean they don't treat other things in their life with religious fervor.

I like your hair!

I think you got something there.

Here in the South, so-called christians would only meet with atheists on the DL. I would find such wimpy action revolting.

My wife was religious and became more so as time went on, whereas I became less of a believer. It took 38 years for death to part us. I think we saw each other rather than the beliefs we held.

I’m an atheist and I pass on the religous

My current wife of 20 years was a ordain minister of baptism faith she was the one that helped
Me come out of the closet on my atheist belief sooo yes you can make it work but both sides
Have to want it to work.she no longer follows her religion .her choice guess I am a bad influence.

I personally would not rate a religious person Especially not in this climate.

True, but it's kind of doomed, either she would constantly try to convert me so I don't go to hell, which would put strain on the relationship, or she wouldn't try to convert me, which means she doesn't love me and is ok with me going to hell, and that can't be good....

To me that doesn't matter. I'm not willing to date a religious person, it doesn't matter to me if they're willing to date me or not.

I’d say true. It’s a common theme that we are told that we ‘have’ to respect others religious beliefs, but it’s perfectly ok for others to question our lack of beliefs. I’d say false if it wasn’t so limiting to exclusively date atheists. I just couldn’t date someone who relies on their faith to make ethical decisions or to guide their life.

True. I'd date someone who was culturally religious, as many today seem to be. By that I mean they identify very vaguely with their religion, as more of a tradition they carry on than a real conviction. Conversely, I've seen my children rejected for their lack of faith.

I believe it to be true.
