Is your spouse/SO an atheist? [View all]

And if not, does it cause problems in your relationship?

My wife is a non-practicing Catholic, and I was raised Catholic, went to Catholic schools, was even an altar boy. So at least I am informed about what her beliefs are.

My wife is not the type to be in your face about her religion, and I'm the same way about Atheism. We respect each other's opinions, so no problems in the 22 years we've been together.
