Religion?

Question

So I'm a Christian and my boyfriend doesn't believe in anything at all. And he wants to raise them the same way. But the difference is he said he is not having any bibles or Christian things in the house. I initially want to raise my children with no religion. And let them choose whatever they want to believe in. Am I in the wrong?

Answer

Get out of the relationship now.  I was the same.  I even brought my ex to church with me.  I thought it would be no big deal till we had our first baby and when I wanted to baptize her it was an awful horrible fight.  As the kids were raised he criticized my faith to the point it led me away from church till I divorced him 18 years later.  
To me, religion is something you should share and agree with your partner on.  Otherwise you are just asking for problems later when kids come into the picture. If he’s willing to meet you halfway, different story.... but sounds like he’s not

Answer

It actually sounds like you have different plans on how to raise your children. You seem to want to allow them to make up their own mind, while he wants no religious exposure to ensure they remain atheist. I understand he may not want them indoctrinated, but it's a bit rough if he says you can't have any items of your faith in your own home. It doesn't sound like your religious beliefs are compatible with each other.

Answer

If you want to raise them with no religion then why would you want christian items in the house?

Answer

My husband is Catholic and despite not being really religious myself I chose to become Catholic so we could have a full mass ceremony when we married because it was important to his family and we also are baptizing our children and sending them to catholic school.
It’s not as though believing in nothing is somehow being betrayed as you might feel if you believed in an entirely different religion. If he doesn’t believe what’s the harm in someone else enjoying their faith of it gives them comfort?
There have definitely been conversations between us discussing what we’d each day if our kids eventually come to us with faith related questions and we comprise and agreed on things.
I definitely think you guys would need to have a long conversation on everything down the line and figure out where you each stand.

Answer

I wouldn't have kids with him. And if your a Christian, why would you not raise your children that way?

Answer

I wouldn’t have kids with him

Answer

Technically you're unequally yolked already so you're living in sin that way with trying to pursue him. If you do go through with marrying him and having kids, I hope you don't plan to baptise them if you truly don't want to raise them with religion because that comes with certain promises it doesn't sound like you can keep currently.
