Atheist dating an Evangelist Youth Leader?

So, I met a guy <--- Always a great start to a story. (I want to keep this simplistic, so this may seem like point form, and not the Oscar Wilde-esqe prose you may be accustomed to on Answers).

We're both 17. He came from Central America a few years ago. He is an Evangelist Christian, and the Youth Leader of his Church.

I am an Atheist, or, at least a Non-theist, because I don't believe in God and I don't think about it.

We met at a school dance last spring. He watched me dance, then joined me, and we salsa'd. It was wonderful and perhaps a bit provocative (as other students noted) and so it came as a surprise to learn that he is quite religious.

My question here, for all of you lovely religious and non religious folk is: Can two people with such different backgrounds be together? (He has expressed interest and we've been flirting...*swoon*)

And, if he is this religious, may it be that he is playing me, since he knows there will be no future, and is instead looking for some fun?

I just don't know what to think. But, Yahoo Answers has never let me down. Have I given all of the important information? I think so.
