I want to move to the south next year and I’m worried that finding a black man who shares my secular views will only get harder. I prefer not to date anyone that is religious but that pretty much rules out a large amount of the black male population. As a result, most my past relationships have been with black men who are christian and I haven’t had any issues so far but those relationships never got serious. I have never had a problem dating outside my race but as I get older I find that I am more attracted to black men. Should I keep settling for someone religious that doesn’t share the same views as me like I have been? Should I be focusing on this at all? I’m just worried that it will come back to bite me in the ass later when I’m ready for marriage and children. Any thoughts?
