Yeah, I've had similar experiences.
When I met him, my boyfriend had just recently left his Mormon background and as a result of the whole queer relationship thing, was undergoing a bit of a crisis of faith. It would be easy for me to try to talk him into being an atheist but, really, I want more from him: I want him to be able to give an intelligent answer when someone asks what he believes or why he believes it. If I had my way, that's what I'd want of anyone, really; I'd probably get along better with an intelligent Christian/Muslim/Buddhist than I would an ignornt atheist.
