Would you date/marry someone of a different religion?

[Tuken]

Yep! #YOLO

I even heard that some people even marry different genders than their own.

As long as they aren't a Satanist or something...

I wouldn't want to be with someone of a theistic religion.

Do they stink?

No; if I married someone with a theistic faith and had children, and if my wife told our children of her religion and tried indoctrinating them, I would tell our children of the various types of religions and remind them that all religions are beliefs, not facts. I'd be better off with a LeVeyan Satanist or Buddhist.

Goddamnit, Pseudo you're awesome.

Thanks. ^_^ You are, too.

Dwah you! emotion_hug

Religion isn't a problem for me.

[CuteMinta]

No. Dated one that was slowly becoming Agnostic. Constant fights would break out between us.. Was miserable at times.

[Hobotastique]

Yeah.
My dad is of Islamic background and my mother is Greek Orthodox and they're still married, somehow.

Religion isn't a big part of my life and I could certainly be with someone who is of a different faith but they cannot expect me to go to church all the time with them, fast, read the Torah, read the Bible, Koran, Kama Sutra, whatever.

Now that I think about it, I wouldn't mind dating someone of a different faith but I think I'd want to marry someone with indifference to religion or no strict views or whatever. Thinkin' of the kids.

I'm atheist, and I wouldn't date/marry someone if they believed in any god/s.
There's just a fundamental difference in the thought process which I feel, personally, I couldn't get past.

Not to say that I think it's somehow wrong for anyone to love anyone when it comes to religion.
It's just a personal thing for me.

I personally am a Muslim, but of more a "liberal" type. I dated a Christian twice and it was fine, religion wasn't a big issue. I would hate it if he were to shove his beliefs up my face, just as he would hate it if I pushed the Quran in his face.

So yeah, I'd say I'm fine with dating others from a different religious background. As for marrying though, it would all depend on the non-muslim in the r/s itself. In my country, a person who is a Muslim is only allowed to be married to another Muslim, so the non-Muslim in the r/s would have to convert which I think, not cool man, not cool.

I didn't care when my boyfriend was Christian. He was conflicted at one point but decided it wasn't important. Now, he's a theist whereas I'm an atheist. So, we don't care.

[geminikitten]

As long as the values align one way or another, it's fine and that applies to religion and things could be unrelated to religion.

I'm a Christian married to a Muslim. Fine with it.

[K-r-e-v-y-e-t-k-a]

Short answer is no.

I tried it before. Seen other people try it before.

[Salmenella]

I'm a Roman polytheist. My boyfriend is an anti-theist atheist. It works fine for us because we respect each other and each others beliefs and views.

[Brimlad]

If they have the same basic beliefs and just have a different denomination, yes.

If not, no. It would simply cause too many problems.

[Sakura Latte]

My parents were of different religions--my mom was Catholic whereas my dad was Buddhist. (although my mom didn't officially become Catholic until I was 9)

They got along long enough to have me. Then they divorced because of parenting conflicts.

[Kohlian]

I couldn't date anyone that wasn't as driven away from religion as I was.
