In this country, marriage for an atheist is a difficult thing. 90% of the available single ladies and gentlemen are religious. To be precise, the religious people would mostly be either christians or muslims.

I for one, do not want to get married in a church. Who has time for couple's counselling. Who has time to waste in 2 hours sermon about marriage?

Also, for a woman, I do not want to be beaten to death by an angry fiancee over not going to their church or mosque.


Life is short.

It's not too much to ask, but in a society like ours, atheist have a hard time finding partners.
I just got dumped 2 days ago. In her word she still loves me but can't compromise her faith for me. I never asked her to. Infact I told her to hold on to her faith that am cool with it. Still got dumped.
So far I think the ratio of male to female athiest in Nigeria is to your favour, I think it won't be long before you get the right gentleman to tie the knot with.
All the best, happy married life in advance

Awww. Sorry you got dumped.

Yes, there are more male atheists than females and I do not see that changing. I think it is because of the way women are treated in this part of the world.

I think I will end up marrying a foreigner sef.

Inter-religious marriage is not supposed to be something impossible. But if the religious are making it impossible for the unbelievers, it isn't a bad thing for the unbelievers to open dating social websites for themselves, find a partner from their and then get married to one another. Until then, unbelievers will continue to be rejected by believing girlfriends and fiance.

Back in the day, I heard Seun was dating a Christian lady but I don't know if it was true then. Rumours and all.

You don't seem like a freak to me. You seem normal and average. Nothing extra-ordinary about being an atheist.

I feel you. I'm Nigerian, male and open/vocal atheist. I'd prefer to marry a Nigerian woman but all the good options I've come across are all theists and don't wanna marry an atheist, even though they openly fornicate and do other sins with me o. lol

The matter tire me.

hahahaha. But I don't do long-distance dating na.

And while I'm ok with traditional marriage customs, I'm not going to pay bride price on any woman. I believe that's one custom that desperately needs to end, because it heavily contributes to patriarchy and the ridiculous mentality that so many men have over their wives.

Or if fiancee is ok with the custom, then she has to pay the brideprice herself. I'm not 'buying' a wife.

@Born2freak,

I agree with you!!! If you marry a Christian man, he may force you to eat grass like a billygoat, then order you to drink petrol like "expired Peugeot 504"!!!

There's no good reason for female atheist to marry a devout Christian or Muslim. It is highly unnecessary, because for every female atheist there are at least 10 male atheists. Also, you would be miserable, because major religions teach that wives should "submit" to their husbands.

Wouldn't that also mean that there's scarcity of single women to marry among the atheist fold. Meaning also that some Christian ladies stand the risk of marrying atheists. undecided
