Yes and it can be a challenge. We married before I had really solidified my views on it. Ironically my views became solid AF because I started reading the Bible. Fixed me up right away.
We get by because she does not push it on me and I don't really talk to her about it. I get along with her and her family because they are really good people who choose to follow the best parts of the Bible. They are relatively progressive, meaning they are tolerant of other religions, accept abortion more or less along the lines of Roe v. Wade, etc. I do wish she was an atheist because I liken religion to a cult and sometimes when she makes negative comments about MAGA people I have to hold my tongue. But otherwise she's great. She takes care of me and I her. Been married 20 years.
If anything happened to her I think I would actively seek a new mate who was atheist.
No, but my mom is... pisses me off sometimes, but I manage.
No, but was brought up in it throughout most of her child hood. JW stuff.
Fuck no ๐
Idk if I can technically answer this question, I'm quite religious, I believe in a few. Namely The Church of the SubGenius, the worlds only true fake religion, and The First Church of the Last Laugh, the world's fastest growing snack religion. Praise both "Bob" and St. Stupid.
But as someone of a few different religions that themselves are different from those I've dated (both athiest and multiple sects of christian), it wasn't much of an issue. They push theirs I push mine, they don't I don't, eye for an eye makes the whole world full of eyes!
She's a mostly lapsed Catholic. So she just goes to Xmas Mass with her mom.
