    Yep. People just put to much wait on labels.
    Theism simply means believing one or more gods exist. Nothing more.
    Likewise atheism simply means, not being a theist, i.e. not having a belief in gods.
    Nothing more.

    So I guess I'm an agnostic atheist then.

    I personally don't mind. I'm respectful towards everyones beliefs, and think that everyone has the right to believe in what they believe in. So long as they don't try to force their religion onto me, (im not religious myself) I wouldn't mind it. I may not believe in the religion that my partner may believe in, but as long as he is respectful of my beliefs, ill be respectful of his. Simple as that ^-^

    as long as both people in the relationship respect the other's beliefs, i don't think there's anything wrong with that. :slight_smile:

    Having been on both sides myself (once I was a believer, now agnostic atheist describes my belief best), I don't care what my hypothetical partner's religion or lack thereof is. I am not hostile towards religion itself, but some of the practitioners throughout time have put such a bad taste in my mouth that I have to be very careful to separate the followers from tenants themselves. My attraction to someone has to do with the individual person, and their beliefs matter very little to me, so long as I don't feel like I need to convert to something to be with them.

    i'm an atheist at best but i try my best to be respectful of everyone's views. i would honestly prefer my hypothetical partner to be nonreligious but i try not to be that choosy. if they belong to any religion, i'd like us both to respect each other's beliefs, don't try to convert one person or the other and not drag them away from what they believe.

    the bottom line for me is that person is very conservative, radical and things like that.

    For it to work they would have to be respectful of my beliefs, and be a person of high moral fibre. I wouldn't want to be with anyone who would try to convert me, and any children we would have would be taught both ways.

    I have one or two friends who are religious and we get on all right, but I doubt very much whether I could be in a relationship with a religious person, it would just be too weird for me.

    I'm an atheist and my girlfriend is Christian, though she's aware of the harm religion causes to LGBT people. She's not practicing...seems more "Christian in name only" because of her family but I'm not gonna label her.

    I don't mind religious people as long as they don't mention their religion in practically every conversation.
