Getting married an atheist is less problematic than getting married to a person of a different religion. Atheists are generally not threatened by other religions so they wouldn't have problems with their kids being educated according to a religious doctrine, because they believe that in due time, the child would grow up to choose their own path. A lot of atheists grew up in religious homes and their parents were religious freaks or they were religious freaks themselves but they still found themselves refusing all religious doctrines at last. 10 Likes |

I have no problem with religion. Infact I can marry anyone regardless of their religion as long as their personal character is something I can live with |

foyeks2001: my bible tells me that '' do not be equally yoked with unbelievers'' meaning d suppose partner can as well influences ur faith in God be it positively or negatively....but always good to be on a safer side....so it is a capital NO for meSo if Mark Zuckerberg (a well known atheist) with a current net worth of over $15 billion proposes to you, will you still remember dat ur bible? 3 Likes |

cowgurl: Atheists in life are reserved and tolerant. they don't talk about their non belief unless they are questioned. unlike what happens on Nairaland, atheists hardly initiate religious debate because they know the implication of starting something that will never end. if the kids choose religion fine, as long as they don't become obnoxious and hypocrites because that's something atheists don't tolerate in religious people. if you can't respect and follow the doctrine, why choose it? |

I will actually prefer an atheist to a bible thumper- one thing i learnt about africans is that you are told what to do and what to be like, but you are never told why. Nothing follows a logical thought process, just a habit of following tradition and religion in a blind manner. |

michelin89:Yeah, the Whys and the hypocritical ilks, they are always present in every facets of life. I for one detest hypocrisy, I mean why should any one preach what they do not practice? Sad thing is, majority of folks are found wanting in this, and most times I wonder if we will ever get to that point. Once again Michelin, you've spoken well. @ Logic mind, I stil await your answer in all of my posts on here. |
Re: Will You Marry An Atheist? by Nobody: 6:29pm On Jun 13, 2012 |
Nope, my religion forbids me to. But if he's very intelligent though, i'll pray that the Holy spirit touches his heart and invite him to all the church services i can think of. |

cowgurl: . You see, genotype doesn't change. A church going good christian husband could end up atheist after years of marriage and childbearing. Please compare comparables. cowgurl: As I said before, faith is not constant. It is good for children to mingle and get knowledge. Intolerant attitude like yours will surely drive your family to atheism. (husband and children) |

Re: Will You Marry An Atheist? by Nobody: 2:33am On Jun 14, 2012 |
Atheists and religious fanatics shouldn't have a problem with eachother, since they're both two sides to the same coin.. One doesn't believe in God - but the other believes in God, but has to go through a boogeyman to get to him/her (I personally think God is a woman, since a woman was the first creation. The Adam and Eve story is bogus). Not believing, and the boogeyman makes the both of you the same thing - just different interpretation. Both are bogus, and foreign to the African mind, where spirituality holds sway. |

Logic Mind: Just wondering with naija girls mentality if a very good, rich, loving, handsome, intelligent, educated fellow fell madly in love with you and you with him but you realise he doesn't believe in any god. Will you still marry him if he proposes? Dude take it from me... MOST OF THEM WONT... I am talking from experience... I remember one girl I dated and had fhucked in so many different positions that a normal christian shouldnt even try.. After things started to get serious and she decided to get to know me better and found out that I wasnt a christian, she cried so hard and broke up with me.. I was like WTF!! Bitch you werent even born again?! O well.. Good riddance.. I am engaged today and that is one of the biggest issues I have with my spouse.. I had to promise her to attend church once a month at the minimum for a little peace to reign.. |

michelin89:There are actually different types of atheists. There are indeed some who proselytize atheism, who take it as a duty to bring others to reason. Such kinds can be unbearable, though. In Nigeria, there'd be asking for trouble. Richard Dawkins is one of such proselytizing atheists, so was Hitchens. In general, however, most atheists would rather avoid the religion topic. It's more like they know the answers already. Personally, I can certainly marry an atheist. Why shouldn't I? Being religious makes absolutely no sense. And to add, sometimes, I really am baffled by the way an average Nigerian girl thinks on such issues as this |

Logic Mind: Finally! Lmsao @ intolerant attitude Too bad you have a grudge but am gonna pass on reciprocating the gesture cos I like you n above all, am enjoying this e-chat with you. My final question to you Sir, Would you marry a christian Lady (not me o' course) and allow her worship her God + train your kids in like manner? |
Re: Will You Marry An Atheist? by manmustwac(m): 9:58am On Jun 14, 2012 |
As an athiest I don't have a problem marrying a Christian or any women of any religion. The problem is usually is that the Christian cannot marry someone who dose not have the same belief system that they were born and bred into. A Christian marrying another Christian is no guarantee of a blissful marriage. Some women do end up marrying wife beaters, hot tempered men, stingy men cheaters etc. And if their relationship or marriage eventually breaks up has it got anything to do with Christianity? So dose marrying a Christian make any difference. |
