Talk to your parents....don't get this type of advise on the internet. Read the article below titled: 'Youths Let your parents help you guard your heart!"

You can go out with him - enjoy the companion. But if he asks you for marriage just tell him that you are still young to can make such a decision and that you can go on loving each other until you are old enough to can make an informed decision on the matter.
As regards, Atheism. the only difference between atheists and Christians is that while Christians believe in God atheists don't - but it doesn't mean that atheists cannot give their partners satisfying love. Again many christian marriages have failed and many are still to fail - just like those of Atheists. What's important is that you should feel comfortable with your partner. Love is the power!

At 15 you are too young to even understand the consequences of marriage, let alone marrying someone who has a completely different value system than your own. So, although you won't like this answer, this is not a good choice for you. The Bible says not to be unequally yoked - it causes so many problems, and you do not yet have the experience behind you to deal with them. Wait a long time before you consider marriage. Learn about yourself first - experience life - gain knowledge and experience - be self-supporting. Love is wonderful, but there are other considerations just as important when you get married - similar values, ethics, morals, tastes - respect - how you treat each other.

Many Christians will tell you that it's wrong because the bible says not to be "unequally yoked" whatever that means, but there are allot of things in the Bible that Christians don't follow. Did you know that if you disobey your parents they are required by biblical law to stone you to death? As far as your boyfriend goes, most Atheists have no problems with marrying Christians. Follow your heart, but wait a while first. Fifteen is way too young!

Absolutely correct. As an atheist I am convinced of my opinion or belief that life doesn't require a supernatural explanation, but respect that of other people including my parents who think that there is something out there, there is a purpose etc. I am 56 and 15 is so very young to have a conviction one way or the other. Don't let theology, or indeed other people's opinion, get in the way of true love.

I think it will be a bad deal especially for the atheist. There are all kinds of weird people on this planet but religious nuts are very hard to crack. See you are only 15 and worrying so much about your religion!! Religion is a tv show that you watch sometimes on sunday morning and forget all about it in the afternoon during your trip to the mall. That guy seems to have a stable mind please don't ruin it.

There is no such thing as a soulmate. That is a pagan idea from the Greek, Aristophanes.
There is no sin in loving any man, but our Bible does say to be equally yoked. It may be easy to each have your religion, but don't you want a man who can praise God with you? Who will pray with you and support your faith... instead of thinking you're misguided to believe at all?
And later, if you do get married, tell me: do you want your children hearing Daddy might be going to Hell, because he rejects our savior? How come Daddy doesn't go to church? And, even worse... if something happens to you, he may raise your children to be atheists as well.

Well it isn't against his religion. He doesn't have one.
There is a lot of pressure on marriages without a religious difference. It can work, but you need to figure out a whole lot ahead of time. How are you going to deal with the kids is a big one. The biggest thing is that you both really have to be OK with the others belief. If either are going into it thinking that you are going to change the other you are going to have big problems.

I am an atheist man. I married a Christian woman when we were young. (She was a Deacon in her church).
We have been married for 15 years now, and have 2 children.
marry for love, the rest will work itself you. We respect each other's beliefs, and just agree to disagree on the topic. We each teach our children our view, and let them decide their path.

Marriage its about harmony. It is much too difficult to have peace if you know you don't agree or have differences.
In order for a man and a woman to be united in harmony some things have to be in line.
1. Physical appearance must be a like for it to work. (it all starts here)
2. Mentally compatible. Share the same ideas (67 yr old woman with a 17 yr old boy, from two different worlds) Must share some of the same ideals.
3. Emotionally. Must get excited about the same things at the same time.
4. Spiritually. Agree with the same believes (often people who do not share the same believes end up arguing all the time)
Why get together with someone who is not going to hell with you. Isn't it the idea of dating and marring being together. So if you want to go to heaven for eternity, please find someone who will agree with you.
This may be another reason why people get divorced.
