No, I don't think it's reasonable to date a religious person when I'm an atheist.

I just read an article on Yahoo about a woman who is Christian and married an Atheist man. She insisted throughout the article that she and her husband were in love and they will keep fighting to stay married and happy.

https://www.yahoo.com/news/im-christian-married-atheist-heres-170000627.html

They met online, they both knew the other's religious views, got engaged in 3 months, she had a spiritual crisis, he said he was saved, they got married, she was thrilled. Several years later he comes out and says he is no longer a believer and is now an atheist again.

Raise hands- who thinks he 'found Jesus' to get her to marry him??  **hand shoots up**

She rattles on and on for several paragraphs about how they listen to each other and she refuses to nag him about going to church and he doesn't "throw her to the wolves" when around other atheist friends and family. 

They even have children together!! "I want my kids to come to God on their own terms. I have no desire to brainwash them. Dave (husband) agrees. He’s fine with them having faith as long as I don’t force it on them."

Are you serious? Are you fucking serious, you psycho Christian windbag?! 

Life Hint: if you bring kids to YOUR church and put them in YOUR Sunday school every Sunday you're brainwashing them. I don't care if you pretend that you're the cool religious mom who lets your kids learn about other 'myths'. As long as you take them to your church and tell them that your beliefs are the 'real' ones, then you are brainwashing them! That's how religion works! You've got to get the kids hooked early! Otherwise no rational adult would believe this nonsense!

There is no way in fictional hell these two are going to stay married for much longer. 

Every time this woman's husband challenges her beliefs and pushes her to dig deeper in her bible he's secretly hoping she will FINALLY discover that her religion is bullshit. I guarantee it!

She hopes that he will eventually see her as a good, happy, respectful person and want to join in on the fun. Really? Is him staying home on a Sunday morning making him into a terrible person? Is he beating you or your kids? Is he stealing form his job? Does he even have a job? What about him being an atheists makes him less happy, fulfilled, respectful, or good to you, lady? If he wasn't a good person you wouldn't be fighting so hard to stay with him. 

Stop lying to yourself. 

The last time I dated a religious person it was a nightmare. Between having stupid arguments about his 'sky-daddy', his parents giving me shit about how to be a godly wife, and him beating the crap out of me, I've got to say that dating an atheist is the best thing that has ever happened to me. And I will never go back. 

Good luck in your delusion, lady!
