		<description>eHarmony may be run by a religious tool, but the site is pretty damn good if you put in the work and are willing to fork over a couple hundred bucks (it takes time).  I found quite a few atheist matches.  I married one and am still good friends with the other.

Their survey and profile system does take religion and religious importance into account and it seems to match appropriately.  

I was matched with some theists too, but nobody far out there.  Plus, I indicated I was open minded to &quot;spiritual but not religious&quot; so I&#039;m sure that was part of it.</description>

		<description>I am married, 2 children, to a woman that is religious. We have 2 children in common and that is about all. Been too long and the only consolation are the kids and I do everything for them. We don&#039;t fight but we know it is not working. If ever get out or have courage to get out, I WILL NEVER date any religious woman unless super cool and very liberal. BTW I look Tyson, slimmer but without his intelligence and have many female friends, married and single. 

The lady &quot;ringtailroxy&quot; is right. Upon getting to this southern state 3 years ago, I went to free thinker&#039;s meetup. The male members are exactly like ringtailroxy described that even I was turned off. Even I wanted to meet women and men like myself not paunchy, older, slovenly, ones with stains on their shirts. I think I&#039;ll buy Richard Dawkins scarlet &quot;A&quot; lapel pin for for when I put on jacket.</description>

		<description>If you want to meet godless girls in the US I recomend the Western Washington. It&#039;s full to bursting with well educated, brunette, jesus-hating liberals. Most drink cocktails, listen to NPR and hate football. Basically, it&#039;s the opposite of Texas.</description>

		<description>Some of the geeky girls were harassed by the testosterone-laden crowd just like the geeky guys were, except with a sexual element added in.  If you&#039;re into girl-geeks, establishing yourself as trustworthy is often an absolutely essential first step.</description>

		<description>I was reading &lt;em&gt;The God Delusion&lt;/em&gt; on a bus once... the girl across from stood up to leave the bus, and only then did I notice that she was reading it too. She was cute, too. Damn missed chance.

It is ridiculously hard to find atheist women in the US, though. Or maybe I just have bad luck. I met my current gf when she was a graduate student in a physical sciences department at a major research university in a large, very liberal city. And she&#039;s a theist. Gah!

And about Hugh Laurie, my gf says he got better with age. Not at all attractive in Blackadder, Jeeves &amp; Wooster, etc. Definitely hot House-era. And by the 4th (last) season of A Bit of Fry and Laurie, he was beginning to look pretty good, apparently.

Dunno. She thinks Alan Rickman is hot too. All right, he&#039;s got an awesome voice, but attractive - and as Snape, too? A fat, pasty, old wanna-be goth?

On the other hand, if she thinks men get more attractive as they age, all the better for me, I suppose  :)</description>

		<description>What is this Hugh Laurie thing?

Maybe its just that i grew up with him on blackadder as the idiot Georges, or as the goofy comic with Stephen Fry on Fry and Laurie, but it seems that as soon as he forgets to shave the girls all swoon.

Not that i&#039;m complaining, as a beard wearer i prefer more ladies to be into hairiness :)</description>

		<description>The real question is, what isn&#039;t attractive about Hugh L? Nothing. Rugged, intelligent, British accent. Anyways.....

When my atheist husband found me, I wasn&#039;t completely convinced of the whole &quot;No god&quot; thing. I was right on the edge and just needed a tiny little nudge to non-belief. 

Maybe single atheist men can just look for open minded thinkers and push them over? It certainly would open up more possibilities. But really, if someone isn&#039;t a crazy &quot;I speak the truth and you&#039;re going to hell&quot; religious person, it&#039;s probably worth a shot if there is a true connection there.</description>

		<description>Grimmlock, 

First step for you might be &quot;Move out of Cincinnati.&quot;  Or try the UU churches - one in Clifton, one in Finneytown.  I had great conversations with atheists at both.</description>

		<description>Just don&#039;t talk Trek on the pick-up, &#039;kay?  Save it for the first or second date.  And keep it short unless the woman shows a vested interest in it.  And keep the discussion fairly short; don&#039;t start a Kirk vs. Picard or start rambling about Klingon culture.  I like Star Trek, but I&#039;d rather talk about you than it.</description>
