Honestly, I think I could deal with someone believing in a vague higher power that they don't try to define in anyway and that they didn't pray to or worship or anything. If someone was religious enough to claim it by denomination though, I can't do it. Mutual beliefs and interests are very important to me.
On top of that, I'm very introverted and I don't ever want kids. I sort of don't ever expect to find anyone. Thought I did, but it didn't work out for other reasons. I got a best friend out of it though.
Anyone else have dating issues because of being an atheist?
Yes, atheism is one of my dating issues. I live in "stupid state" Oklahoma where you can't swing a rosary for hitting a stinking church and the single atheists males are few and far between, let alone ones my age (mature). I have no interest in a partner who might be in control of my life should I not be able to care for myself and who thinks their god's plan supersedes their partner's desires. No, fuck, no!
Intelligence and respect is the first criteria, I have none for religious delusions. I'm so screwed, and not in a good way.
