My husband doesn't believe in any God or that the human body has a spirit or anything like that. He believes we're simply biological organisms and when we die we just don't exist anymore. I on the other hand believe we've all got a soul which departs the body when we die however, I don't class myself as religious even though I am officially catholic.

We don't really talk too much about death though, and each of us seems happy enough to let the other have their beliefs without the need to force them on the other.

Sometimes I think the whole point of religion is lost when it comes to different beliefs within a relationship.

eta: I think part of the reason we don't argue about our individual beliefs is because neither of us can prove our argument, so there can never be a winner.

I wonder what that says about us as a couple. lol
