So, would you?
EDIT: Superstitions in general, and vice versa for any believers.
Could you date/marry a Christian?

Depends on how tolerant.
I love theology and I love Christianity even if I don't believe in it. That being said, as long as they are accepting of the fact I don't believe, I don't see where there would be a problem. -
Yes, and I am. Religious beliefs are but one aspect of a person - you can't let them define that person. In this club I have a tendency to be cynical, judgmental and sarcastic (who'da guessed, huh?) however that is simply one aspect of my personality.
Restricting yourself to a single group to socialize with seems like the highest form of snobbery to me; also there just aren't that many atheist is the world.
That's not to say that I don't constantly try to 'enlighten,' haha, others. -
I could if they accepted my beliefs
religion doesn't have to divide us, I think, as long as both parties are tolerant and neither tries to convert the other or what have you. -
I wouldn't think of dating anyone else. ;D

Snoinkus, you wouldn't date someone who wasn't Christian?

I had discussions of the matter with a christian friend- and saying I would've shown interest in a christian girl, as I don't care about the other person's believe- a christian girl would never date me.
My friend even showed me the verse and everything: Corinthians 2, 6, 14.
so it doesn't even matter how tolerant you may be- you still can't date christians -
It is generally discouraged, but some Christians would date non-christians, SubjectBlue. I know some Christians who married atheists.
But a lot of my Christian friends would never date someone who was not a Christian. -
The ones I know claim it is against the bible- but maybe it's just them...
-
It is, at the very least, discouraged in the Bible. Some people find ways around it though. Just like with pretty much every part of the Christian faith, there are going to be some exceptions.
-
I definitely could, as long as they where not 'bible bashers'.

Nah. I would get frustrated with them too much because of the faith issue, since faith is hugely important to me, and that's not fair for either of us. I've tried this before, lol. But it's more of a personal choice for me because that's just the way I am. I do not mind when believers marry non-believers. -
If they were accepting, sure. Although if they're accepting and still hold religion very close to their hearts, I probably wouldn't date them. Eventually you run into problems because ideologies begin clashing. Good friends for life, though? Sure thing!

Hell yeah!

I'm dating one right now, actually. He's a pretty neat guy. The only point where it's ever likely to become an issue for anyone, I think, is when you have kids. No matter how tolerant you both are of each other, when it comes to your kids, both of you are probably going to want them to choose the "right" one or way of thinking.
He's a more open kind of Christian, though. His idea is that, so long as you're a basically good person, you'll go to heaven. Doesn't matter what faith (or lack thereof) you are. We both agree that we would want our kids to explore a variety of different religions and faiths before deciding on which one they want to follow, if any. So, they could decide to convert to Islam, or Hinduism, for that matter, and it'd be cool. In his eyes, so long as they're a good person, they'll go to heaven, so it doesn't matter if they believe in God and Jesus and such.
And this works out pretty good. I think a more interesting question to ask would be, what if your someday future child (if you ever have one) decided to convert to Christianity, or any other religion, for that matter?
