I know it might sound scary now, but relationships are to find a future spouse. And obviously if your faith is important to you then you wouldn't marry an atheist. The relationship between husband and wife (or girlfriend or boyfriend for that matter) should be such that you both are continually growing closer to God and in turn you grow closer to eachother. Obviously being in a relationship with an atheist would pull you away from God so I dont see why you would waste your time or risk your relationship with God

Liking people (their religion at this early phase in the friendship/relationship doesn't matter) and getting crushes is really common for teens, so I'd say don't worry too much about just liking him (if you still like him so many months after you posted this haha). It's only a little bit more problematic if the guy likes you back, because you probably would want to go out with him.

It would be hypocritical for me to tell you not to go out with an atheist, because I am with one (tbh we haven't discussed religion yet but I know he doesn't go to church, but then again neither do I). It depends on where you prioritise religion in your life (it should probably be ahead of your relationships), but there's so much more to a person than just their religion.

And who knows, they might convert one day. If you like someone and that person likes you back, just give it a shot.

Oh ya I forgot to say the crush is over(for like 6 months) and he is dating on of my friends and he is very happy.

Ha, I'm glad it all worked out.

If atheists are children of God, I find it nonsensical that one would judge another by their religious/philosophical beliefs.
