Tried it and it failed, rather catastrophically

I was married for 18 years to a born-again Christian. We shared everything initially, including my hedonistic side, my desires. She claimed to accept those but never really did. It was an incessant pressure to conform, to accept her faith, to go to church. Drove me away. If she wanted to believe, fine. But insisting that I do, not fine.

I recently pursued a relationship with a woman who outwardly identified as Christian, sent her children to a Christian church, and attended the church associated with her daughters' school on most but not all Sundays.

After a time, it became clear that she wanted a disciplinary structure, individualized teacher attention, and generalized safety for her daughters at school that she thought the public schools in the area did not offer. As she came to trust me and confide in me more, she eventually revealed that privately she was agnostic and went through the motions with the church to avoid making waves at the school.

The relationship ultimately didn't work out, but it wasn't because of religious differences between us.

I would if the other person was awere. I thank I would and then I start thinking and maybe not.

True it's become a real deal breaker for me.

I've been alone so long I can't afford to set any limits.

Yeah, none for me. I'll pass, thanx.?

It has been my experience that 'believers' are more prone to lie, be dishonest, corrupt, less loving, less emphatic, than non-believers?

Though I have many friends who are believers, I don't think I could have a relationship with anyone who believes in supernatural deities. I really have to have full honesty in a relationship, and if one can stretch the truth in that way, I fear he'd stretch the truth in more personal ways.

I've also found believers to be misogynistic and womanizers, but that's just my experience.

I also feel that mutual respect might be a problem... "Well at least I (do/don't) believe in God!"

For 16 years this professional dancer of christian persuation and me been at it at all imaginable stages except marriage (yep, we used to live together). We saw yesterday "Book Club". Whatever is on the cards, we are both Free to turn around and never comeback, when the right substitute show up, the other will let go, because we can. We have no fear, nothing is forced between us, we swing it, we tango it, we foxtrot it, we waltz it, we salsa it, we cha cha it, we bachata it. We are Grown Ups.

I tried - -found out she could talk the talk of love and kindness, but couldn't actually live it. Won't go down that road again.

I don't think they could be a devout theist. A light hearted "I'm not really sure but I think there's a god" is about as far as I think I could go.
