Would you date an atheist if you were completely compatable and had great chemistry.

Your question includes an irreconcilable paradox. By definition Christians and Atheists can not be completely compatible. Therefore your question is moot.

I am a Christian and I say no, you may be compatable and have great chemistry but like the bible says - "do not be unevenly yoked". Also if this relationship were to turn into marraige there are very big moral differences between a Christian and a non-christian. Satan and God cannot be worshipped together and if you are not for God then you are against him. The bible tells us to love our neighbour but that is not in a literal sense! It means treat everyone how you would like to be treated, with kindness, love and respect. Also if you are a Christain and want to keep yourself pure as the bible instructs us to how is that going to go down with a non-Christian, you faith should be the center of your life, you should be attending a church - are you going to be doing all these things without your date being involved in any of it?
Your life should be centered around the Lord and His will for your life - how is a non-Christian going to understand or support that?
If you are already married and you become a Christian but your spouse isn't that is different - you are to stay in the marraige and let God work in your spouses life.
Hope that helps some!

You contradict yourself because a Christian and atheist are not completely compatible. Your talking someone who is held to different religious beliefs and one that has none. What would you do on Sunday's. How would you raise children (in church? no church?) Christmas? Easter? The end times? According to the Bible God should be the focus of your relationship. How could that be with someone who doesn't believe in God? See where I'm going here...
For those saying convert them, by definition an aethists is someone who has chosen not to believe in God, much like a satanist chooses to whorship Satan. Its not that they haven't heard the word of God or have a open heart to him. They had decided he is not real.

No, I would not. Because to have true compatible you need to be compatible in all areas. For me personally, my Christianity is a very important part of who I am.

No no no. Your bible tells you to not be unequally yoked. You are told by God to be with a christian. If you date an athiest, who might be a great person, you may fall in love with him/her. You may not plan to but it happens. You will be sorry if you marry an athiest. Your children will be confused and will have less oporitunity to become christians. Date only people you would marry if you fell in love. Pray and ask God what He wants for you. He will show you.

I could see chemistry..but not compatability. Being a Christian is who I am not what I do.

Well if you are a Christian, then you know of the unequally yoked scripture... that being said, no I would not date an atheist. If God is at the forefront of my life, nothing else is important. The chemistry should be ... with God, and of course with God in your relationship...

If this person has strong convictions about being a non-believer then I would say not to date. However, if you have a feeling that over time her feelings/opinions will change from spending time with you then I would go ahead

NO: we wouldn't be completely compatable if he was an atheist.
I do however agree w/Diablo we should act as christians to EVERYONE! But to me by dating an atheist means you agree to some point that God/Christ doesn't exist. I'm not willing to do that
