If she isn't devoted to you, she's gotta go.
I broke my wife's weekly church habit...I'm just that good.

A good relationship is definately worth fighting for, but if he's willing to look past her insecurities and her family's judgemental attitude and maybe even occasionally appease them by going to church functions, but she still can't be reasonable and respect his opinion on the matter until he completly gives in and does exactly as they want him to do, then that's not a good relationship.

I have been married for 5 years now and the same exact thing happened to me when I started dating my wife. Her parents are super religious and my wife also but I did straight out told her that I would go to church occasionally but not every weekend , it also helped that after we got married we moved to AZ from KS and that helped with her parents not being in between.

I would just put in the work, dress up, go to church and at least go for a month to feel them out. Things will loosen up if you at least show them you're a man of good faith. The only way you will make it through church is to find something positive in it or a way to amuse yourself while sitting there without your phone or falling asleep. Bring gum, when they are singing, get out the hymnal and look down at it like you are reading lyrics and chew away, if you turn your head right it looks like you are singing, bonus points.
If you don't do this, you will probably regret it for the rest of your life. You won't be with her long unless the slight chance of her turning into a whore, which is a double edge sword anyway. Also, girls get horny when you're with them at church, bad thing to say but you'll see.

She doesn't need any extra getting horny, that happens all the time anyway lol
But I'll figure it out i guess, i kind of like your ideas.

Sitting in a Church does not make you any more Christian then does sitting in your garage making you more like a car.
FYI sick GP man

Agreed. I'm not big on the singing, so i think about other things. -- When i'm able to attend, that is.
FTW.

Oh man!! Focus on the good in life!! Like that beautiful Pontiac, honestly man the more ya dwell on this kind of stuff the more it kills you. I think you know the answer to your question. Best of luck bud.

Why not try it? Is there something you fear by going? Maybe that you just might like it if you do go?
It never hurts to try something new and different. It sounds like this will be more of a change for you than anything else since you didn't grow up in a religious home. But it's not necessarily bad and its at least worth checking out. If the relationaship is good why wouldn't you do one simple thing that your girlfriend requests? It's not the end of the world and in the end you will be able to say I had no regrets and I tried it.

I wouldnt get rid of her just because she wants you to go to church. From what Ive noticed is that girls that go to church tend to be better for you in the long run. They will generally treat you better and not be as tempted to cheat and whatnot. If you are looking for a person to be with the rest of your life they generally tend to be the ones. They of course are still people so they have their faults. Honestly spending that hour sitting on your butt is not all that bad. Ive gone to church alot and I can understand why you dont really want to go though. Honestly if it pleases her parents it wouldnt hurt to do it because if this relationship lasts the last thing you want is to hate her parents because that will make everything awkward when you have to see them.

my girlfriend in high school who was in a strict family also became a whore in college.
she didn't turn out so bad in the end after it all, but the first couple years of college she let loose.

"For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them."
- Matthew 18:20 (King James Ed.)
Church is defined by the church as the people. The building, pews, alter, these things are just things, the people is what matter and make church chuch. If you do like this girl and want to stay with her, you may satisfy her and go once. Get a feel for it, you may like it. If not you just explain that you don't like it. As said, honesty is the best policy. If she can't like you for who you are, she needs to leave.
I was raised in church, but once I got to a certain age it was my decision to go or not to, I stopped. I'd prefer to not say why, I just have my personal reasons. My GF is a believer but as I do, doesn't like to go to church. But on special holidays, Christmas, Thanksgiving, Grandmothers birthday, we surprise her and attend with her to her church. Gives us both a feeling of "good deeds" not for ourselves but for her. Some sacrifice is a good thing, but you can't change who you are and if you don't like it she needs to be able to understand that.
Her parents should understand too, as Christians we shouldn't FORCE religion onto those who don't accept it. Think of how her parents would feel if you practiced your lifestyle choice of Nudism at a family get-together. Just sayin.
