Can atheist brothas be faulted for looking for love outside their race?

Love is love, period. If you find and fall in love with an atheist/ non-believer/ skeptic who is not black then so be it! I'd rather you be with this type of woman as opposed to being with a religious black woman who will more than likely refute your beliefs and/or try to "change" you (as a black woman, I HATE when other black women swear up and down that they can change a man!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!).

My last relationship was with a dark-skinned non-believer (at that point in time, neither of us deemed ourselves as atheists. I realized that I am one after we broke up, however, religion was never an issue). Frankly, I am only open to dating other atheists, non-believers, and maybe a guy who is spirtual but not religious. Theists need not apply- AT ALL. Not sure if I'll find another black man who meets that standard here in New York, although I'm not really looking. 

Good luck with the sistas, Mr. Muntu and the other brothas on this thread. We're not all religious assholes.

I know all to well this feeling I live in Hillsborough NC... you know where they first started locking people up for teaching evolution... I'll be moving back to NYC soon.

The advances of the internet should enable us to look more effectively for co-freethought relationships within the diaspora which is more world-wide than we realize.

My husband and I are raising a beautiful black freethinking girl...at least we hope so. She's only three, but I hope she stays a freethinker...I'm sure she'll stay beautiful and reasonably sure she'll stay female.

This scares me for her, though. If she grows up attracted to black men or women, it seems like it'll be hard for her to find love. Maybe things will change in the next twenty five years.

I feel your pain, TRUST!!!  I was just talking to a potential dater via net, yesterday.  I was having a problem with something and he replies "pray on it".  I didn't say anything, tho.  If I would have said "I ain't prayin' on a damn thing" he probably would have ran for the hills.  lol

Most White folks don't buy into religion like Black folks.    You wouldn't be settling.  I guess it beats a zero!  lol.
