That sucks

Well, that would be an instant no-go for me. Anyone trying to convert me into any weird cult can forget it. They can forget being my friend either, if they don't shut up about it after I make it clear I'm not interested.

Depends on the type of christian if the are fine with me being atheist then sure.

No. I never have and don't see myself doing so in the future. It's sort of like asking 'Would you date someone who fundamentally disagrees with you about the core of your philosophical being.' A resounding no. I also doubt a Christian would date me. I'm also super awesome and can afford to be picky.

Fair enough. Is it the lack of belief in a deity that would be the problem, or concern that the other person might be damned regardless of belief/disbelief in a god? To put a finer point on this, would you struggle with the idea of being in a relationship with a theist of an entirely different religion?

To me because my belief is such a large part of who I am, my partner would need to hold similar beliefs or the relationship just would not work.

God damn, keep your wife away from my website then

It's amazing how the people on here talk shit about Christians all day long and then most of you are okay with dating one? What??

Yep. Most of my girlfriends have been Christians. I was engaged to a Mormon for a short time once.

When it comes to Christianity, my main issue is with Christianists, not with Christians who are otherwise normal.

What does otherwise normal mean? I consider the entire belief to be totally abnormal and absurd. If anything a non-practicing Christian, like most people say they are okay with, is even worse. It means that that person isn't capable of following through with their own beliefs or examining them deeply. How are you going to have any deep or meaningful relationship with someone like that? For me I need someone who is well versed in being able to examine religion and philosophy and able to have a conversation about it. Not someone who is 'normal.'

However as a note it's also not really all that difficult to find secular women where I live and my main social circle is almost entirely secular so I guess my situation might be a bit different.

My wife was a born again Christian when I met her. I could see past that because she was super hot. (drools at memory).
