The minimum requirement is "accepting of atheists", not necessarily "atheist".TrailerParkJawa wrote:Thank you for all the answers. Im asked my question initially thinking most Athiests would normally seek out another Athiest to marry or date.
There are lots of them out there. I don't know how many of them fail to work out, but if you haven't hashed all that stuff out with your girlfriend before getting married, you're getting married too damned early.From the responses Ive seen I would take it not to be the case. I personally dont think marriages that mix religions will work well, but thats just my opinion.
It depends on whether the religious person is capable of accepting that his or her religion is not absolute (this also applies to interfaith couples). My wife and I both agreed before we got married that our kids would be exposed to both sides. Rebecca would take them to Sunday school, and I would educate them about what I saw as the philosophical and scientific flaws of Christianity. As human beings rather than chattel, they have the right to choose on their own, so we would simply give them both sides and let them find their own way. Obviously, this approach only works with an open-minded Christian.So, I would tink a non religious person with a religous person would be even more uncompatible.
