Its fine as long as you don't date a very religious person. Date other atheists or people who believe but don't take it too seriously.
OK, King and lord..
I don't think it's so important when you are dating, but it IS when you are planning a family. Someone who believes a non-believer is going to Hell would not be comfortable raising their children that way, and most atheists don't want their kids to become true-believers.Quote:

We're raising our children as Catholic (apparently) and they go to a Catholic school (because first and foremost its a good school)
I like to think, however, that I provide a balance to any potential indoctrination they may come across, and when they're older they can make their own choices.
So it is possible for a religious person and a non-religious person to raise a family.
