Were you an atheist at the time? And if so, did she know that?
Whoops, I should have waited on you before I made my last post. Yes, she did. I couldn't keep something like that from someone I was thinking of marrying.
It wasn't her Mormonism that drove me off, it was her rigidity on a variety of matters. I came to realize that she wasn't actually so much in love with me personally as much as she was in love with getting married. Sister issues, I think.
I'm not anti-Christian. I'm anti-stupid.

Are you saying that all but your Mormon fiancee knew you were an atheist?

I guess if a Christian is willing to date an atheist and not try to convert them, that's a good sign in itself. Being "Christian" really tells me nothing about the person, it would be entirely down to specifics.
I only dated one, and she lasted a while before starting to lean on me. In the end, she couldn't help herself. It wasn't the only reason we broke up though. We were a bad match in general.

It would be a deal breaker for me.
Relationships require a lot of work as it is. This is a fundamental difference, AFAIC. It also indicates a certain lack of critical thinking for me that is massively important for my attraction, which is like 75% about intelligence and wit.
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great

I think it can to a certain extent be compensated by a sense of humour.
