Dating people with different religious belief , does it work out well or they can both come to an understanding , Curious !
Sure it can work. There are religious people, then there are religious people. The majority of them don't take it all that seriously. But if we're talking about the Ken Ham disciples or the Ray Comfort followers, I can't imagine that would work but who knows. Maybe it's true. Maybe love does conquer all. ... Nah!
I ended up parting ways with my ex girlfriend who is still a Mormon and when I came out as an Atheist from being Mormon it was a completely different dynamic after a while of not talking and her getting in touch with me on messenger after she left her husband long story short she would not date me again now that I’m an atheist and no longer a Mormon.
Depends on the person but for me,
No. I believe a positive relationship should be based on mutual respect and honesty. As an atheist, I can not respect a person who bases their belief system on the dishonest premise that faith (belief without evidence) is a methodology to determine (Truth) things that are testable and demonstrated to be correct with evidence.
I'm still on the fence about this.
I would say that a fundamentalist on either side of a differing belief system will certainly poison the outcome before they even know what they are doing, but as for two people who are open to the idea that others can hold differing views without being your enemy,... I'd like to believe that it could work.
Ironically, the most open, honest, empowering and loving relationship I have, is with a devout christian.
Is it the best possible relationship I could be in? If not,.. is that because of our beliefs? Or in spite of them? Would a hard core atheist, like myself, be in a better position to teach me about the nature of life or love?
As you can see, for me, this question just raises more questions. Maybe it's because I keep questioning everything, that I can see beyond someone elses indoctrination (and my own) to a beautiful and caring person, with a good heart, who loves me very much.
It depends upon the degree of conviction and the implication of their identity. I suspect one would have a measurable potential for compatibility with a “Muslim” with the following attributes:
… whereas the following type of “Muslim” may yield a significantly lower potential with respect to a functional romantic relationship:
It can work as long as both people are honest and upfront with their expectations with the other person.
I will admit it is difficult and I tend to find they end up contradicting their beliefs in some way anyways.
I think it comes down to both being realistic about themselves and the world we live in. Compatibility is huge with personality and sex. Neither are guaranteed even if both are atheist/agnostic.
