Became an atheist, need advice on Christian fiance

RE: Became an atheist, need advice on Christian fiance
I agree with the posters here that give the advice to get away as fast as possible. It sounds like the only reason she would be able to marry with her religious views is if she either sees you as like minded or is in denial of your atheism thinking she can win you back.

When and if kids are introduced you are going to have major issues most likely. I am secular humanist athiest / social liberal and my wife is angostic and moderately liberal and we have some pretty involved disagreements with some of the finer points of how to raise children.

For example. She was at first insisting on baptizing any children we might have because it couldnt do any harm and it would appease her religious family (some catholic some liberal non denominational christian). Since i have helped her to decide it would be best not to lead her family into thinking that we arent a secular household. I could see this issues like this being alot worse.

All in all i feel really bad for your situation. It sucks to realise that your ideals are so drastically different so late into a relationship. Ignorance is bliss they say.
