I'm an atheist and I know at least five atheists/agnostics in real life. The problem is that people won't outright say it (I do at times, I have no qualms, it's a good way to clear a room!). So, I suspect that I know more than that, but as I don't blurt it out randomly, neither do they.

Oh, but then I only exist on the internet to you, Boo!

I'm an atheist, but I never mention pretty much ever unless I'm "cornered". All I ask is that people respect my beliefs in the exact same way I respect theirs. I would even date a religious person as long as that mutual respect existed.

Religious people don't bother me at all, it's the hypocrites that piss me off...

I'm an atheist/ agnostic woman and my boyfriend shares the same view on religion as me.

This is flat-out untrue.
I had to do a research paper for my statistics class relating any two demographics and mine was on gender and religiosity.
Women are more likely than men to be religious, but OF the religious, women are *far* more likely to be liberal or progressive as opposed to fundamentalists, which makes sense- you'll see a lot more women pastors/church leaders in more liberal congregations in general.

Strange thread, I only know one girl (of my age) in real life who's religious and she's muslim.
I even picked catholic religion in shool but nobody in that class believes in god, they're just interested in the bible etc from a historic point of view, even the teacher is bashing the church and the pope all the time.

It'd be nice if some of you women show up on my doorstep. I've yet to meet one like you.

Did you take into account that many fundamentalist christians do not allow women to become pastors/church leaders?

In..my paper? The study wasn't about comparative church leadership at all, but cross-sectional surveys of men's vs women's self-described religious fundamentalism.

My aside was *highlighting* that women might gravitate toward less fundamentalist beliefs and congregations *because* of (the misogyny in the Bible, and) the patriarchy of more fundamentalist sects.

ValentineWiggin, I was certainly not talking about fundamentalists, only about religious people. I don't even interact with this breed of people.

And I do agree, fundamentalists are more likely to be male, in fact fundamentalist females would be almost invisible to society.

Then what I did say is true. Religious people can also be intolerant toward non-believers in the sense that they won't date them or marry them, I am talking about the dating scene here.

Besides, what can be seen as moderately religious here , can be seen as strict religious in other less religious countries , and what can be considered strict religious here, can be seen as fundie elsewhere and vice-versa for all.
