Most atheists don't "choose" to disbelieve in a god, it is simply the worldview that makes the most sense to them. To most atheists, religious views don't matter very much at all. I am an atheist, and I can see past people's religious views. I judge people based on who they are, not who they worship. I know people who are made much more compassionate and deep by their spirituality, and that is a very valuable trait. You, however, seem to have been made more judgemental and shallow by your religion. Imagine being abandoned by the guy of your dreams because you are too short, or because of your ancestry, or your eye color, things that you cannot help, and that are probably irrelevant to you. I believe that Jesus Christ preached love and tolerance, and that he would frown upon your decision. I don't believe in the holiness or immortality of Christ, but I do believe that he had great wisdom that all of us, including you, can learn from.

Sure he's mad; he liked you and the relationship went too far. If you're a Baptized Christian, then the Holy Spirit is working in you. Through prayer and meditation on God's Word, you'll be empowered with the truth.
Yeah; you liked him. Maybe you even hoped that your influence in his life would ignite faith in him. The truth of the matter is that, ultimately, believers and unbelievers should not "yoke" (2 Corinthians 6:14). The bottom line is that it is always appropriate to show love just as Christ loved us but "showing love" and "falling in love" are two very different things.

It was because you are prejudiced. The only reason it cannot work is you will not permit it to work. It would be hard to work as you see the world from different points of view and you strictly believe your way is the one correct way. It is no different than ending a relationship because of skin color.

Your reason for breaking up with him. Anyone would be mad if that was your reason given for ending a relationship. He probably thought you actually cared and accepted him as he was and when you said that, realized you didn't share those feelings at all. It's pretty damn heartless in my opinion to tell someone "I can't be with you because you don't share my religious beliefs".

He got mad because he loves you. Think about things from his perspective. Even though he is an Atheist, he's stayed with you regardless of your religious point of view. I can imagine that he feels betrayed, and that you are acting childish for breaking up with him over something so insignificant in his mind. Do you really think that causing so much pain in someone who loves you so much is what God wants you to do? I hope you learn from this experience.

it was probably because you ended the relationship based on faith alone. just because people are two different faiths doesn't mean the relationship won't work. He probably punched the wall because he wasn't expecting you to break up with him over something like that.

this is going to be harsh. so if you are sensitive please read no further.
it probably was not the reason that you broke up with him that bothered him. it was probably him wondering why you would start a relationship with him in the first place if you already knew that it would not work by your standards. he probably feels hurt at the least and betrayed at the most, and stupid all around for allowing himself to care about someone that cared so little for him. if this is a new decision on your part then he feels that you ahve been influenced by outside sources and again he feels betrayed and hurt that you would allow somebody else to tell you who you could be with.

He probably got mad, because he just now realized what type of a girl he'd been dating....
Did you seriously break up with him for being an Atheist?

Evidently, you were an intolerant christian, (so who is surprised at that?) not respecting that others may have a different or opposite view.
I am an atheist.
I am married to a born-again christian.
We have ground rules.
No religion at home.
No discussion about religion.
We get on fine because we respect each other and each other's private beliefs.
Perhaps you need to grow up a little? Maturity brings tolerance and understanding.
Could be that you have rejected a good man, which is difficult to find, simply because his views on one relatively unimportant subject differs from your own. You have lost him to a better girl because of your short-sightedness.
A lesson is to be learned here.

Of course he's mad. He lost the woman he cares about because of his beliefs. In this society Atheists are often forced to walk a lonely road and you just added to that.
BTW, such a relationship CAN work if you let it.
