Well, I started a poll on the topic but I would also be interested in your thoughts about it. Imagine that he/she is the best match for you but he/she is an atheist. How would you feel and what would be your decision on getting married to him/her?
Practical life experience and logic says , it does not really matter... In fact , in reality , religious people are responsible for creating most of the mess in the world... Being religious never really stopped anyone from committing crime or cheating in a relationship ...
Personally , I would focus upon individual personality and behaviour ... I believe , it differs according to individual ... I know someone Who is an Atheist and way Better than many Religious people , no doubt ...
As long as he is not interfering with my personal belief system , I have no problem with it ...

p*dophile are. It's even written in the q'ran, Allah married a girl when she was six years of age, and he consumed the marriage when she was 9. In many islamistic countries it's legal when a full grown man marries a little girl.

how about women not allowed to leave the house without her husband, wearing a nicab etc. How about the whole mulim area was celebrating the attacks of 9-11? How about the sheepbutchering? Even in my country often muslims go into the field or a kindergarden illegally at night to butcher a sheep that's not their own sheep. Our prisons are overcrowded with muslims. They come to our world but refuse to acceptate our culture. Let them stay home, please.

How about Turkish people all over Europe didn't care about the covid rules, until Erdogan said so. They don't even accept our leaders, while they're living here, often even are born here, but still see Erdogan as their big boss. Name one muslimcountry where human rights ain't violated...

Thanks everyone!
Atheism makes it slightly more possible to reason with a woman. A masculine side but not a like brute, I could easily marry a woman who fights for a world of reason.
no 'atheist' ever to be around me , i just believe if there is nothing spiritual within , (wether christian , muslim , ect .... ) then your an empty shell with no moral compass or real compassion in your heart.
I also agree with one of the comments in here , about 'religious nuts' , .... yeah , I stay away from them too !!
Religious nut-cases? Who are they? 1) People who are fanatical about their religion. 2) People who denigrate others that aren't part of "their" religion. 3) People who believe they are "superior" because of their "religion".
Atheists. Who are they? 1) A religion of zero gods. 2) People who denigrate others because they are religious. 3) People who claim they are better than all "religious" people.
Hmmmm. So, the religion of zero gods isn't all that non-fanatical after all, are they? Just sayin....

I rather think it's the other way around.
It's the aetheist who (probably) wouldn't marry someone religious...

Shalom, Iyyov
It's not complicated Iyyov, aetheists just don't believe in God...or any God...
What you religious people want to believe is entirely up to yourselves...us atheists would be obliged if you'd stop trying to ram it down everyone else's throats..it's beyond tedious at this stage...
You don't see aetheists lining the street with placards telling the rest of the world they're not going to hell ..or anywhere else after they die for that matter....do you ?

We are better. We have zero wars on our hands.
Name one time a Jew has walked up to you, or anybody, and mentioned that H-word. We don't believe it in. It is, to us, a figment of the church's imagination. Why is it that all religions are put into the same barrel? Yes, I do see atheists do that. You already have. To quote you, "We are better." Any religion that see's themselves as better, is always "speaking down to others'", especially if they're not of the same religion. Whether the religion is polytheistic, or atheistic, when they say or think, "We are better", it is still a "sect" that looks down on others. You are part of that. What is that place, other than the place people who are "better" place those who are not? Yes, Ms. Atheist, you are as guilty as those that carry a banner. You just pretend your banner, that you proudly wave, doesn't exist. Nonexistent banner, nonexistent god. Seems like a pattern building, if you ask me.
And don't confuse pacifism with atheism. If you lived in the WWII era, when Germans rolled into your town and started killing everybody that disagreed with them, what would you have done? Proudly claimed you were an atheist? I suspect you would have died right where you stood. So, even atheists had to choose a side. Pacifists often stood and died, or ran and lived; brave death, or life as a coward. It was the only choice. So, you don't have zero wars. It is another false claim of your zero-god religion. Better, indeed!
All that Jews ask of other people is to just leave us alone. We're only 0.2% (or less, I don't remember exactly) of the world's population, but get blamed for like 90% of the world's problems. We don't want your wars. We don't want your religions. We don't want your blame. We just want to be left alone. You do your thing, we'll do ours.
First of all, I'm not muslim and the first one was a poll to clearly see the results, the second one is to understand the opinions underlying people's decisions.
If I made something wrong I am sorry because I am pretty new to comment area here.

From past experience. It would not matter to me. I would like someone that believed in something tho. Spiritual. Nature. Something. I also suggest you remember a relationship is about change. Like it or not, it is. So change enough to adapt to the person. You don't have to change the person. They don't have to change you. There is a place you can live together in harmony. It is the place called acceptance
