Nope. He's an atheist (though, I prefer to call him an "apatheist" :)). Generally we don't discuss religion at all, and he doesn't get involved with my home spirituality or Circles. He doesn't mind that I decorate the house like a crazy Pagan though, and that's good.

He doesn't like to think about gods or religions at all (he's not fascinated by them like I am) so he doesn't see the point in identifying himself as someone who does not believe in any gods

Oh, but does he say, "Why would an atheist want to hang out on a religious forum?" :D

My wife is a Methodist, though not overly dogmatic. She believes in a personal God, but to her, God isn't going around having conversations. She knows of my beliefs but probably not the extent to which I have thought them through. We don't really take the time to discuss it that much. It just doesn't come up often in the distraction of day-to-day life.

Her theology is pretty well represented in the movie "Signs" in that she reads some kind plan into all those events I dismiss as coincidental. She is also a firm believer in Karma, and her life maxim is "What goes around comes around." She finds great comfort in the rituals of a Methodist service, whereas I feel rather out of place.

I'm an atheist, and my wife also doesn't believe in a "supreme being" or "gods", and considers herself something of an agnostic.

While it may sound like she and I are similar in our views, we actually are not. I don't believe in life after death, disembodied spirits, psychic powers, and the like. She does. It's definitely a difference.

But it hasn't caused any troubles between us. We respect each other's right to form our own judgment on these matters.


eudaimonia,

Mark

Me and my husband are very different in belifes. I'm Pagan and he's well...not interested in religion, God, Gods or even discussing religion. He has his own thoughts which I've barely pried out of him as it's so personal for him.

I don't know I'll ever fully know what he thinks. I just get a glimps from time to time.
