Like you, I held out for a nice atheist woman. I would not marry someone who believed in a god, so there would be no issue of compromising on this point.
I would not marry someone who believed in a god for the same reason I would not marry someone who believed in Santa or leprechauns. Such beliefs are too silly and I could not respect such beliefs.
People talk about "tolerance" and so forth when I say such things. I tolerate the neighbors. I hope to have better feelings for my spouse. And in fact I do.
Other people choose differently. Sometimes it seems to work out for them, and sometimes not. I hope it works out for Starvald Demelain.
