Atheists & Agnostics

(11,461 posts)For 37 years until they passed away. I was mostly atheist and they were Southern Baptist.
We were very happy together. Religion was just another thing we didn't agree on. To us it wasn't the end of the world not to agree. Sometimes I would go to church with them. Sometimes they went without me. Either way was fine. They went to a conservative church but was always arguing for pro abortion, marriage equality and kindness.
They didn't preach to me but we did argue about the existence of God. It was fine. We both liked to argue.
Until they passed away, neither of us changed our position on God.
But I will say we both agreed on politics. I may have been more liberal but both of our politics was very liberal. We both didn't hate LGBTQ+ and fought for legalizing marriage. Neither of us were bigots, racist or misogynist. We were pro choice and pro democracy. We both knew Trump was bad news.
Atheists and religious people can get along just fine. You don't have to agree on everything to love one another.
