Do you think you'd be any different if you weren't religious?
If the answer is yes, then please stay religious.
No-one should stay together out of fear or guilt.
*First answer: yes
*Second answer: Would I be different as a person if I was atheist? My faith is and always has been a tremendous influence in my life, so I'm sure I'd be different in some ways. Though impossible to say how or how much, since I've never been atheist.
*Your last comment there doesn't really follow though, since it assumes the only reason I'm with my husband if I'm religious is out of fear and guilt. Also, it's a bit condecending and offenssive to people of faith to say something like that. We are humans just like you, and just like many of you we have love for others and we have a desire for life long loyalty and commitment, despite the sacrifices which may come with that.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
