Hi. Same spot as you. An atheist in a conservative family. My parents know I'm not the most religious person but they still push to me pray everyday.

In approaching my love life, it is always my belief to date someone that is very compatible with and would never have to hide anything from.

I've dated a religious person before for over a year and by the end of the relationship, I felt that it was a waste of time as I was never really able to be myself. He knew I wasn't religious but tried to push me to be religious over time and to limit my haram activities. Eventually this pushed me to break up with him.

By now, I've moved to dating another atheist and I am very happy with the current situation. I can be so comfortable with him and love him very much.
