So I was dating this girl for 11 months. Pretty cute. Mexican but not too Mexican (not trying to be racist). I was crazy for this girl.

We were in love and all that bs, but I knew that she would never truly accept me because I am atheist and shes a hardcore Christian. She had always wanted me to convert to Christianity, but it always failed. I tried going to church a couple of times with her to try it out, but I just couldn't accept that there was such a thing as God.

Other than the whole religion thing, our relationship was pretty good and I didn't think that there was anything wrong with it. We always had fun together, hanging out at the beach, going to the movies, etc. We hardly argued and maybe had 1 religious argument the whole 11 months we were together, but it wasn't that serious.

Today, she finally broke up with me. She just couldn't accept the fact that I did not hold the same religious believes as her. I guess the thought of me being atheist bothered her the whole time, but she had this thought in the back of her mind that told her that she could change me. Eventually, I guess she gave up on that notion.

I feel pretty bummed right now. I just don't understand why religion is such a big flippin deal. Enough to the point that its worth breaking up with someone over. Someone plz enlighten me, because i just don't understand why religion is so important.
