Well I dont think so because I dont have a religion and I despise all religion so I dont think I could get together with someone who is overtly religious. I do however have a belief system based upon vikings druids and pagans but thats a story for another day.

Being an atheist, I probably wouldn't even date someone who was very devout in just about any religion. He doesn't have to share my exact beliefs, but if they are directly opposite, it may cause issues.

I definitely couldn't date/marry a hardcore christian.

I'm not religious either, but that's the very reason why I would care about another's beliefs. I think it would be harder for someone who's fully committed to a particular religion.

I don't have a religion. I would marry someone who does as long as he's not a bible thumping holy roller. That would get on my nerves. It would have to be decided that we would not raise our children in any religion but rather try to educate them on all religions to let them decide for themselves.

I'm your basic agnostic (raised Catholic)...so I can be okay with pretty much anyone. Unless, of course, someone tries to "recruit" me into something. I'm not okay with that.

I would think it's highly unlikely if they are still practicing hardcore. I would even have reservations about marrying a practicing Catholic (I'm ex-Catholic).

I don't know if I could date anyone who was really religious.

I drink and I curse too much.

And I'm oversexed. And I love it!

I get in a bad mood if I miss one day without a nut.

I agree. Ariel is Jewish and I'm Christian, but he isn't practising and I'm pretty liberal so it's not an issue.
