It's not wrong to try, I mean sometimes trying is all that you can do. That is to say don't force him, cus then he may go, but for the wrong reason. My advice is to try to live by example, hint at him to go with you to church sometime, but don't look down on him if he doesn't. In truth all you can do is try to be a positive light towards him. Maybe he will, maybe not, but only you can decide if he his good for you and your kids.

I wouldn't consider it as "wrong," your efforts are very worthy and I do see were you are coming from. However, he might just be annoyed. Don't take this as any form of a put-down, that is now what I am trying to say, and I wouldn't be dumb enough to ostracize anyone on Yahoo! Answers.
Not everyone likes to be preached on when it comes to religion. In fact, a lot of people cannot stand it at all. Does he come from a religious household? Maybe he just doesn't see the point in sitting around in a church when he has other things to do. That kind of thing can't just be forced on someone.
Sit down and talk with him. Tell him that it means a lot to you and that you would like it if he ac least compromised a little and went with you to see how he likes it. I mean that's gotta be worth a try, right? If that doesn't get through to him, I don't know what will.
I hope you end up happier than you are with your situation in the long run, and I hope this answers your question.

First of all, I would not expose children to religion, let alone your boyfriend. Because there are no such things as gods, prayer doesn't do much good either. Look at how well prayer worked for the hundreds of millions who prayed for your silly god to stop Hitler before he killed 30+ million during WWII. Considering their success, I would listen to your boyfriend more and get everyone away from the delusional superstutionism of religious belief.

I am confused. And I am sure your children will be confused if you send them to be indoctrinated into believing something that you do not believe. what will you tell them when they ask you why you don't go to church and believe in God? and surely to be a fundamentalist Christian you need to be attending a Church or have I got my terms wrong. As an Atheist how could you be dating a fundamentalist Christian and vise versa ?

Don't pressure him into going because it would only drive him away from it. Instead try mentioning how important religion is to you. Also, ask him questions as to how he got his negative view from so you can see his point and where his foundation of belief began. Eventually, maybe he'll break down and find spirituality. I had the same pessimistic view towards churches because of the pressure and guilt they had me at but eventually I realize on my own that spirituality has a somewhat healing effect on myself. Hope that helps.

If he wont go, its either because he's not convicted or because... he doesn't want to. Continue to pray for him and I'll continue to pray for you. You have the same authority over the things in his life as Jesus did. Use them, talk to the father.

It would be wrong to be coercive about it.
You can ask. You can tell him it would mean a lot to you, but that's as far as you ought to go.
I know that this means a lot to you, but try to keep a sense of perspective. Would you appreciate him trying to "get you" to go to some other religion's services with him?

Yes
But if you are leading your life right he may want to know why you are the way and you are and go to church to find out.
If he doesn't want to go to church, maybe you're life's path is not quite on track, because something keeps his gut from following.

It's sounds like you are getting yourself into a relationship where you will be "unequally yoked." Is this man really good for you and your children? If he mocks your faith I think it's time for you to move on and pray that he will be saved.
