My boyfriend refuses to talk about religion and blows up every time I say something even pertaining to religion like "Thank God" or something. It drives me crazy. He won't talk to me and I feel like that's blocking our relationship. I'm afraid to tell him when I have to go to church because he'll blow up at me and won't talk to me for at least another week. I pray for him every night, but he's still stubborn. I just want to get past this obstacle and move on with our relationship, but it's blocking the way.

If he can't respect your beliefs then maybe you should rethink your relationship.
have you been doing a good job of respecting his? Try saying "thank goodness" instead of "thank god".
Honestly though, if he gets angry at the mention of you going to church, then ti does not sound like he is able to respect your beliefs and if you are trying to force him to talk about religion then it doesn't sound like you are respecting his.
Maybe you should find a person that has the same beliefs that you do. That is a big part of a relationship.

Your relationship will not work. I am an Atheist and I would not date a Christian man. I do not want or need someone to tell me how to live my life, what to believe, or how I am going to Hell.
Religious beliefs are too important to people to give up and it sounds like he is not open to converting to your way. I think you would both be happier finding partners who share your beliefs.

Why on earth are you with him then? What if you married him? Then what? What are your children going to choose? That will be a big, big problem.
The Bible does say you shouldn't yoke yourself with unbelievers. He has issues when he blows up at you just for saying "Thank God" or you going to church. If you stay with him just because you think you can reach him, that's wrong also. And if you do try to break it off with him, is he going to suddenly convert to Christianity? That happened to a woman I worked with. Her boyfriend said he believed, until after he got her married. Then he went back to his old ways.
You can't make someone have faith. That has to come from their heart.

Amanda, Stop banging your head against a wall. Think of your future. If you somehow relented and married this guy what are your Holidays, birthdays, weddings going fore ever be like. How are you going to raise your children? Your heart and mind deserve not to be treated like this. I'd like to know your age something tells me your a young adult and you have your priorities are already established. Don't hang on for long you deserve a whole person not an empty whole one.

He has every right to his beliefs but he's not doing his job of accepting yours. If he can't accept you as you are, then you should first talk to him. If he stills doesn't agree and goes on with his "my way or the highway" attitude, it's time to move on, I'm afraid.

Christians should not be "unequally yoked" with unbelievers.
Get another boyfriend. It's foolish indeed to have an atheist for a boyfriend, when you are a Christian. You will surely compromise your Christian principles.

hiya i think you both need to accept that neither of you are gonna change the way you think or what you believe in nor should you. what you both need to do is accept and understand what you feelings are on the religion matter and just have faith in each other

If you respect each other, you will respect
each others viewpoints.
If he can't do that, it's time for you to move
on.
Some people are just too rigid, and marriage
does not help.
Eventually, you'll find a believer. And your
boyfriend will find his way out of the
wilderness.

u dump him and date a christian. you can't make someone come to Christ. only God can do that. you're just wasting your time if you think he'll make you happy. it's good that you're there testifying to him though.
