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 would read that book)
Teenaged X-Files obsession + Bermuda Triangle episode + Self-led school research project = 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.
I think it can to a certain extent be compensated by a sense of humour.
