the guy i like doesnt really accept me being atheist

So, I’ve met this guy a while ago and he’s very nice and everything like that. I think we have a lot in common, and we just had this vibe that I don’t usually have with other guys. He’s Christian and I’m atheist. I used to tell myself that I wouldn’t want to date someone religious, but at first it didn’t seem like a problem at all, so I just didn’t care about it. He found out that I’m atheist and kind of made some weird comments… like how I should start praying, reading the Bible, and that the only way I can basically be happy is as a Christian. After I told him that I’m a very convinced atheist, he told me he still wanted to talk about it again. I told him to stop that, and it kinda stopped. Yeah, sometimes he still makes small comments I don’t want, but I can ignore those. He also invited me to church, which is kinda weird… I don’t know, I think I’m just confused about how to feel about it.

What I wanted to ask, though, is if there are any non-religious people who have experienced this before, and how you handled it? Thanks.

EDIT: I wanna mention that he hasnt really talked about it for the past weeks. Religion is still a huge part of his life and thats why he sometimes mentions it when were talking. Like he tells me stuff that happend in church and things similar to that...i really enjoy his presence and dont want something stupid like that to ruin it.
