Dating and Religion (or lack thereof)

Post Reply New Topic

I'd say that hiding your atheism/agnosticism might hurt you in the long run because any girl you get involved in is going to find out someday and will be upset that you were hiding something from her.

I know where you're coming from. I am from an Italian Catholic family where everyone marries only Roman Catholics. Some of my family members are even anti-Semitic and hate atheists. But, I still make a point of letting everyone know that I'm totally nonreligious and don't believe in anthropomorphic gods. I've always let prospective boyfriends know, too, and so far it hasn't hurt me. My last two boyfriends were agnostic Jews.

I totally agree about letting yourself be known. Better to scare somebody away early on, than let them find out down the line, usually.

Though I hardly met any religious people for most of my life. England's got such a large secular element that you can do that.
