[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our family is not religious (or families are from another country and are also of a religious minority).  Our AP is very religious and attends church at least twice a week. During matching, we were upfront and told her that we are not religious, but we can help her find a church for her to go to.  we also asked if she would be comfortable matching with our family because we are not religious, and she said fine.

Well, now that she's here, I am getting the sense that she is uncomfortable.  She comes from a very small town, and I think that she has never met people of other religions before. She has made comments about how we are not raising our son right because we don't send him to any church. [b]She has made comments about people of my family's faith being terrorists.[/b]

She is otherwise, fine. But if this keeps up, I don't see how we can continue. [/quote]

I don't see how a nonreligious family would be uncomfortable for someone ( I can see it the other way around).  You are not stifling her desire to go to church.   So I think her REAL reservation is somehow tied to the bolded above.  She is prejudiced against people of your family's faith and is uncomfortable around you.  You should rematch. [/quote]
