If I truely love someone, there religion or lack thereof is not going to stop me from marrying them. I wouldn't let there lack of faith influence or change me.

I am atheist and my husband is Christian with a Catholic background.  We compromised and got married at my college's chapel using a non-denominational Unitarian reverend.  You two will have to compromise.  I wasn't so picky so I did more compromising with the ceremony, and in exchange I got to do the reception my way.  Anyone with legal jurisdiction can marry you, look up your county/state laws.  Justice of Peace, ordained ministers, priests, etc. \n\nWhat's more important is that you two need to really discuss religion because if you're not open-minded enough to respect the other person's views then you're going to run into marriage problems when it comes to how you want to raise your kids, and other things where it might cause conflict.\n\nAtheist/theist marriages are possible, but can get tricky.

Simple version: no.\nVersion with an explanation: No, for many reasons. The first one, though, is that God said not to do it. God tells Christians not to be yoked with non-Christians. There are many reasons for this:\n-Where will you go to church?\n-Will the muslim want to tithe to the Christian church?\n-what will the children learn as the true religion?\n-What will they think when they find out that their mom is not saved, and what will they think of that?\n-What will the children think when they read that muslims should kill all Christians?\n-How will it feel for the CHristian to have sex with the muslim- knowing that the muslim is going to hell?\n\nWhen people say that "nothing can stand in the way of love" that really bothers me. That is like saying, 'I have an earthly love for this muslim. I know that it isn't God's plan for me to marry them until they are a born again Chrstian, but I really think that our love knows more than the Master of the Universe.' There will be trial after trial in this relationship. \n\nIt may seem hard to hear that this person isn't God's plan for you. God sees such a bigger picture than what we can at this time. He knows best. Our lives will go better if we just listen to what He tells us. You are going to have to stop dating this muslim girl. You don't want to lead her on. If she is truly born again at a later time, then you can see if you want to start dating her again. \n\n I have already been praying for you.

If marriage is so sacred, why not make it against the law for atheists to marry?

The Bible says "be fruitfull and multiplty and fill the earth". It says nothing about what race you should marry (it does say that believer's shouldn't marry non-believers, though).

Unfortunately it would seem to me that for the Bibles conception of marriage and how we must behave both parties would need to be of the same mind. In this sick worlf I imagine that more often than not one or the other would take advantage of the other if only one believed the above philosophy. \n\nI have never married. But when I do, I will follow God commandements. I will also make sure my chosen mate lives a life that is pleasing to the Father so we are of a same mind on such issues as these. \n\nIt is sad, but I work in the domestic violence feild and I ahve seen many women taken advantage of and even their pastors use these Bible verses to keep them with their abusers...and sometimes they end up dead. That is not what God intended.

No. Orthodox faiths only let you marry inside your church. You could try to get him to convert.

yes, for sure.  in fact, if the opponent was religious, and they were equally qualified, i would be more inclined to vote for the atheist.  I would have confidence that he/she would not be a tool of the religious right and would likely not seek to invade people's privacy in the name of morality.

If they are both Biblical (not dogmatic and legalistic) Christians. I don't see why not.  Cultural differences can be a stumbling block no matter what.  Its up to them to decide whether its worth it.

yes it should be legal, the people that are afriad i twill affect their relationshiops don't have strong relations and fear losing their loved one. RIGHT TO PRESUE HAPPYNESS. Marriage is about love not religon creed or sexual orentition, if you really wanan look at it religously I'd guess that jesus would have hung out wiht the gay guy or girl or the bisexual just like he hung out with the prostitute and blind guy and the guy with lepracy, if theres anyone  who he wouldnt hang with its the guy saying no these arnt people and that they cant live happily and love who they want  to. I'm not even religous I just like to give what i think even catholics and cristians can think cuse I used to be one till I decide I was bisexual ... and I think the only thing needed for marriage is LOVE.

As a Christian I do believe that God has a plan for each and every human on this earth and I think that my husband was part of that plan. I think that everything had to perfectly come together for us to have met so I think yes that marriages are decided in heaven and celebrated there as well as on earth.

I say that everyone should do what they think will make themselves happy.\n\nI probably would not marry someone from another religion.  Too many differences.\n\nBut that's just me.

Im pretty sure an athiest would convert to Christianity before believing in that. If you were truly saved all that time, you would know the truth.\n\n**EDIT***\nI am certainly not at all saying that you were not saved during that time (I have no right to decide that)- I just meant that since you were saved all that time-you know the truth if you have kept your spiritual conncetion with God.
