I have found that those who are addicted to religion are hardwired to put their "faith" over reason. I would not even bother dating a religious person. Their faith commands them to try and reach us nonbelievers and I refuse to put myself through that BS. Once someone starts questioning me about religion, even after I've told them up front that I am an atheist, I am gone.

I used to be addicted to meth. When I was in a group I wanted everyone to be using, validated my lies. Same thing.

Good for you. I have met a couple of women lately, one mentioned church, the other Jesus. Instant loss of interest.

I think that it is not only believers who want women to live in their made-up world to play the part of the woman in their head. In reality a lot of men want a women to be someone who will be there for them only, not an equal. Someone who is "the little woman", who will cook and clean for them and who will bring their slippers and never to ask for it to be reciprocated.

I don't go that far as I have no tolerance for the irrational theist.

I believe a positive relationship should be based on mutual respect and honesty.

To assert faith (belief without evidence) is a methodology to determine truth (things that can be demonstrated with facts) is dishonest. Faith is the foundation of the religious mind-set. As I do not respect dishonest people and value truth over superstition, I do not engage with theists on a social adventure.

Where I teach, I have observed many marriages fail. I believe it is better to live a life alone then to be in a relationship with a person not worthy of your time.

Most theists I talk to immediately shut down.

?? I would never date someone I even suspected was religious!
Eeeew!
