I've been single for 2 years and I have not met any, not one woman who was ok with me being Atheist. It really is confounding to me. I'm 55 yo and I don't remember anyone I grew up with being really overly religious but now all of a sudden EVERYONE seems to be a fundalmentalist christian. Makes me feel ill and like I don't belong on this planet.

Yes it is a deal breaker, you have to have the same interests and views to a point

I did it with a christian scientist for over 8 years and we still are Very Close Friends. We even lived together and now still argue the way couples argue. I am godless... attending a church service do not affect my psyche at all. She was sunday school teacher and later became 2nd church reader so she was in front of the congregation in church during service. I may appear every 6 months or so and everyone knew what I was. But is up to the individual... I could sit down with her and read the lesson daily or not. I am just not available to god but if she is my partner... she is my partner so I will support her and still do. But me? I will not be available to her god. Is that the reason we didn't got married? I don't really care... she still is the best dancer in my life because that is what she does for a living. I was very lucky to find her. I could accept anyone that will accept me for who and what I am.

It's a personal decision, but I won't date someone religious because I prefer to share many things in common with my partner and I want to be able to be myself

I agree... I won't do it either. Its not worth the hassle, headaches and stress. There are just some things that don't work together. We all have our deal breakers. This one is very high on my list.

It really depends on how tolerant and accepting of the fact that I'm agnostic. If they're religious but don't try to push it on me I think I can handle it, but not if they're always after me to convert.

Yes. never ever ever. not gonna try it. Id also hurt soneones feelings. And I don't want a religious wedding.

If they are very into their religion it is a deal breaker, because I would eventually probably hurt their feelings. I can be nice to people in small doses; but at the end of the day have a lack of true respect for devout religious people.

I think I have too many religious scars from my childhood to be understanding enough to a religious partner. I would want to be with someone with a similar world view.
