Yes, but with restrictions. I am, and was raised an atheist Jew. My husband was raised Catholic. His father actually was raised Jewish and converted. All I cared about was that my husband was not very religious (so even a religious Jewish person would not really fit the bill on my marriage). I don’t care if my husband is an atheist or not, I am not evem sure how he classifies himself when it comes to believing in God, all I care about is that he does not believe fairty tales and hate people. And, even when I say fairy tales, I am not meaning God is a fairy tale, I just mean I need a relationship with someone who mosty functions off of earthly beliefs and science and logic. If they want to throw in a prayer for good measure no problem. But, we don’t, we don’t pray, which is more comfortable for me.
I can’t see ever marrying someone who is born again or an Evangelical. Someone who buys into only the Christians can go to heaven. I don’t want my spouse, or the father of my children thinking mommy is not going or deserving of going to heaven. Just the idea that someone actions won’t matter to God, if their is a God is so illogical tp me, I don’t think I can be married to someone like that.
Just a reminder, I am only talking about marriage, not friends or extended family. And, I do not equate it with intelligence.
