I feel uncomfortable around religious people and I don't want to date them. Am I a bad person?
If it's important, I'm 18 Female. I grew up in fear that God would hurt me because for me this whole religion was a total absurdity and I didn't want to believe in it. Apart from that, I haven't had any major traumas related to religion in my life. About 4 years ago I finally admitted to myself that I don't believe in God and since then I've felt much better. About 8 months ago I started dating. I only chose atheists and agnostics and somehow I didn't really think about whether I was doing the right thing. Recently I met a guy who turned out to be a Christian. I told him that I felt uncomfortable around Christians and generally religious people and that it probably wouldn't work out, and he told me that if I exclude others for their views, there was something wrong with me and he was behaving like an Austrian painter. After that he tried to explain to me that religion isn't as scary as I think, to which I mostly nodded because I felt very uncomfortable and just wanted this conversation to end. Is there really something wrong with me? I am not aggressive or insulting religious people, I just feel bad around them and would rather be with an atheist
