Marrying an atheist

Q: I got a proposal from my aunty (she lives in America) for her step-son. But the problem is he does not follow Islam. He is an atheist. He does not believe in any religion. My parents and my aunt are telling me that if Allah wills, he will accept Islam in the future (after marriage). My question is can I marry him, is it halaal?

A: Totally refuse it. It is a great sin to accept such a proposal.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
