Thom didn't believe in God

So, some time after I had received a revelation about Thom being my intended spouse, the subject of religion came up, and I asked him if he believed in God.  He said, no, he didn't.   Now, God knew how important it was for me to marry a man who believed the same things I did...one that I could share my faith with, and go to church with; one that would stand with me in solidarity to teach our children our faith.  Sooo where was this "I don't believe in God" coming from?  Apparently his protestant upbringing had taught him that God was some floating being with no substance that ruled the universe, and could not be understood, never mind communicated with...he did not believe in that God...
