I have name changed for this, but I am a mumsnet regular!
I am looking for some help regarding Judaism. I was raised to have no religion, an atheist Dad, indifferent mother. Dh is an atheist, quite a vocal one. He belongs to the local Sceptics group.
I have always described myself as an atheist, although I suppose this description is not true. More I lack faith of any kind.
However, I have always felt drawn towards Judaism, and I have visited Synagogues, a read up on it. I cannot explain why. I feel a bit like a have a hole in my soul, where maybe there is room for G-d, and faith. Christianity most definately is not for me.
I am going to be starting a course at my local Progressive Synagogue soon, I told dh it was to keep my brain working (did religion in my degree so no reason he would not believe this), but really I just want to spend more time there, and learn more.
So, a possible option in the future might be conversion. Could this ever work, with an atheist husband? I am not sure he would want our children to join me (we already have a few!).
I would love any examples of how this arrangement has (or has not!) worked!
I have a feeling if I talk to dh about this, he will put it down to me being lonely and bored (which I am not, particularly!).
If you could share any advice, experience or knowledge I would be really grateful.
