How many agnostics, atheists are out there who actually want to date another agnostic/atheist?
I would definitely consider dating an agnostic/ atheist as long as they were not intolerant of other belief sets.
I would also consider dating a believer, but that would be more difficult. They would have to be the type of believer that chooses to believe that their way is not the only valid belief.
I don't want to be "saved" but if they can get past some idea that I need to be with them in an afterlife only believers can enter we might be able to work it out.
I will only consider dating a Agnostic or Atheist lady.
Spiritual / not religious won't work.
"I'll tell you later" won't work either.
Have learned to be a little 'picky.'
Being from and living in the deep South my entire life, it's hard to find other agnostic/atheist out there. It's almost like being a modern day witch or something.
I'm in the South, too. I know exactly what you mean. There is a real fear of persecution. I find myself biting my tongue and grudgingly and quietly going along.
Religious affiliation (or lack thereof) is one of the first things I look at when checking out the profile of a guy I might like to date. Tried dating a church-going Christian earlier this year, but it just didn't work. I was honest with him about it, and he didn't understand. He said, "I didn't try to force it down your throat." He didn't understand that it's about how I approach life, not just whether or not I choose to subscribe to a particular set of beliefs. I feel you, daddy4pugs. Nice to see another gay man on here, although far from me. Would be interested in chatting with you though if you'd like.
Religion doesn’t particularly matter to me. As long as my partner isn’t trying to convert me or drag me along to church. But most people I know already know my particular stance on religion. I’d prefer it if they were already agnostic or atheistic, but I don’t put a high priority on it.
It’s not that I want to date an atheist, but that I do not and will not date a theist. I also don’t want to date a self-proclaimed “agnostic”, as they have not completed the thinking process as to the usage of the terms agnostic and atheist.
Why would I not?
I cannot tolerate religious idiocy, how would I get past that to form a meaningful relationship?
I could date a flat earther before a zealot.
Basically, I will not date, nor partner with anyone who believes in a god or the supernatural. Been there, done that: not worth it. I see others here are far more eloquent than I feel like being on this question.
Although I would prefer to date another atheist, for the past 7 years, I have been dating a Mormon (I don't think he is really a "good" Mormon though). We have the same disability, we are both senior citizens, we never discuss religion and we have a lot of fun.
This site was set up for possibly doing just that. The community of folks on here has grown a lot and keeps going in that direction. It would be nice but it's tough when you are out in a smaller rural area and not in the main stream city limits where you can meet up.
I† would be a big deal for me just coming off Plenty of Fish website. I was on there because it was free. I wasn't a fan that people couldn't read a profile where I put both my non-beliefs & political leanings in the open & †hey'd still ask me the same stupid questions. Basically stating on that si†e that there are no Gods & I consider myself a Independent, Humanist, Progressive & Liberal person.
Since a youngster after reading †he Gøod Boøk, I'd always state "Godless ßless" or "Goddess ßless", both these phrases would tweek my Catholic city of St Cloud friends out, being I was Indoctrinated during my upbringing & St Cloud is a veryVeryvery Catholic †own.
Godless ßless.
Ha! I get it. When people sneeze I always say "I bless you". Because it means just as much.
I was on OK Cupid and had to get outta there for the same reason...too much of my time wasted with people who didn't bother to read my profile and are extolling their virtues as a godfearing man to me in their letter. I mean REALLY. Lol
I don't know that I'm even interested in dating. I keep telling myself that I'm open to it, but I don't really feel it. [shrug] But I can say with certainty that I wouldn't want to date anyone religious. The worldviews are just too different, I can't imagine our values would coincide.
