I have no problem with my girlfriend's beliefs, and she has no problem with mine. Therefore, we have no problem :)

Jam 4:4 Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God.
1Co 15:33 Be not deceived: evil communications corrupt good manners.
1Co 7:39 The wife is bound by the law as long as her husband liveth; but if her husband be dead, she is at liberty to be married to whom she will; only in the Lord.
1Co 5:9 I wrote unto you in an epistle not to company with fornicators:
Mal 2:11 Judah hath dealt treacherously, and an abomination is committed in Israel and in Jerusalem; for Judah hath profaned the holiness of the LORD which he loved, and hath married the daughter of a strange god.
Psa 106:35 But were mingled among the heathen, and learned their works.
Does anyone have a marriage where their spouse agrees 100% with the other? At the same time, there are Logical limitations to such a marriage, or yoke, as you speek of.
It must be understood, you said "DATE", as opposed to "CORT". There is a difference. A true believer is to CORT another believer of opposite sex only after the permission of the guardian of the female has been granted to the male, and this should only be done with the intent of the possibility of marriage. Dating is a totally different issue which is not scripturally leading to marriage, though it could turn into corting which inturn leads to marriage. A date could just as well be a business meeting or the like, and I see no problem with such if the intent and the purpose are maintained. It does not suggest friendship with them in any sense. It is not for 'fellowship' but business. I am in business, I meet with people of every type of religous / non-religious mindset. It does not mean I am their friend, nor am I seeking marriage, nor am I seeking being yoked together with them.

The separation should be between the smart (say all and sundry with an IQ of a minimum of one hundred twenty) and the ignorant (IQ's fairly scraping the better ninety's). this way makes significantly better sense. The smart (atheists and Christians) can date and study from one yet another and the ignorant (sure, atheists protected) received't bore one yet another with common sense, reason, or (heaven forbid), technological awareness that contradicts their beliefs or mutual understandings.

No I do not agree because if the two people are mature enough they will know that one little facet of the relationship won't sink it if there is mutual respect. I've been happily married to a christian for 8 years now.
You are generalizing because not all atheists say christians are stupid and illogical.

Well it depends really because some people say opposites attract.
I don't know whether that would work in the case of religion and lack of though. I suppose it could provided they had respect for each other, and neither person forced their views on the other.

No it is just a problem waiting to happen and the bible says " Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers"

God says believers you should yoke themselves to unbelievers.
2 Corinthians 6:14
Do not be yoked together with unbelievers. For what do righteousness and wickedness have in common? Or what fellowship can light have with darkness?
Like what firemen are sexy said, dating might be fine, but marriage certainly not.

Most Christians' are not like you. They respect another persons right to whatever belief system they want. I've had some very good relationships with Christian women.

That depends. They could have a mutual agreement that religion is just spoken about or agree to disagree. A lot of people are married that have different religions. Its all about respect.

Umm, it would work out fine for just dating... I mean who talks about religion on a date?

I think, judging only from this one statement and your YA name, that you should not date atheists.
I don't think anything more general should be supposed by way of your implied assertion.
