My other half is an agnostic 'spiritualist'. She believes that there's some sort of after-life but because she admits that she can't know, she lives her life as if there isn't.

I feel very proud.

My wife is a catholic recovering to deist. I'm ok with that, fought many times with her, none about that. So yeah, moot point in our relationship.

Fortunately they are beyond his ability to stay quiet too. So it works, sort of---at least when we don't visit the Bible Belt too, too, much.

Sounds reasonable to me.

Thanks to everyone who read and responded. On a side note, and to potentially illustrate one of the most dramatic change in our home, we no longer pray before meals. Now we fist bump - it's awesome.

We give thanks. Just not to a God.
