I'd like to hubristically say Canada would do better...but due to several factors I'll refrain.

I'm asking this to get opinions from hopefully open-minded people.
I'm looking for some advice from practicing Christians.
I'm a Christian, and come from a very strict Christian home. I've been dating someone outside my faith secretly for 2 months, because my family and church are openly against interfaith relationships.
My personal belief on this is that my boyfriend's morals and beliefs are similar to mine, but he has not attended a church since he was young and is not saved. But our beliefs are similar enough that the practical issues of inter-faith relationships are not really an issue.
I myself am Agnostic. Agnostic is Greek for "doesn't know" or "don't know". I am a left-wing libertarian, and I think religion has brought nothing but evil and war upon this Earth.
Back to the question, do Christians look down on Agnostic thinkers and Atheists, mainly because we aren't accepting of your God or whatever? It's a tricky situation, mainly because Christians, creationists or a religion believing in God will say
"Well, how can you prove that God doesn't exist?"
