You are a faithful Christian, but you find out your boyfriend is an athiest, do you continue the relationship?

How can light and darkness work ? When you come into a dark room and turn on a light, where does the darkness go ? What I am getting at is, you believe in God our Savior, and athiest, do not. Light and darkness, because if you don't believe in God, your not in the light. It's only my opinion, you're going to do what you want anyway, but I couldn't be in a relationship with someone that's not walking my way. It won't work, Amen

If the relationship is good, perhaps you can overcome this and just agree to disagree.

I am a faithful Christian and I have seen first hand what the power of God in a persons life can do... My mother is a faithful Christian and married a man who was not and did not want to be.... He is today (yes 15 years later) A BELEIVER! And has had proven medical miracles (lung cancer diagnosed and then disapear) Have faith and if the relationship is to be it will be!

I will discontinue the relationship. Knowing God entails a lot of things. It makes you have a kind of fear for God and prevents you from doing certain things and you become morally upright to a great extent but an atheist does not believe in God, nor beileves there is any eternal punishment for anyone who does wrong and if he kills you, he does not really feel he has sinned and so he can do what pleases him.

i think it helps if you are both committed to the same religion, and might make things difficult if your not as he/she will not fully respect your beliefs. I have not been in that situation, but i think i would give it a go anyway.

Yes, you continue the relationship. There are more things that make a good relationship other than religion.

Pray for his salvation and that he would come to know God. Give it some time see if prayer is answered then you would be evenly yoked.

I have actually been in this kind of a situation. My ex was athiest and I was a faithful Christian. I tried to make things work, but when he started to get jealous of God's place in my life thats when I had to end things. He grew mad that I went to a youth group with friends or church instead of being with him. God cannot come second to anyone in my life so the b/f had to go.

well, i'm a Atheist, but if i found a christian girl, i would for sure continue the realationship... I don't think people should care about religion, when they choose their partner. If they just love each other, what does it matter what they believe in...

This is difficult. My husband is an atheist and I wouldn't leave him for all the money in the world. However, it has caused me a lot of distress, and if I were just starting out in a relationship, I'd be more cautious in selecting someone who shared my beliefs. And the Bible instructs us to stay WITH our disbelieving spouse, because there is that chance that they may be saved through us. So who knows? -we may be part of God's plan for that person.

Try and get him saved by saying the sinners prayer or break it off. The bible says you should not be unevenly yoked.
