Would you date someone of a different religion or who has no religion?

I honestly couldn't care less about religion and I'm incredibly not spiritual so I don't particularly care about what another person beliefs are so long as they don't try to convert me. When it comes to that kind of stuff it's all, you do your thing and I'll do mine type of deal.

There is only a select few people that I would date, and even if we did date, my beliefs are very important to me. I wouldn't force someone to convert to my Catholicism, but if I have kids and I'm an active part of their lives, I will do everything in my power to raise them Catholic. If after their Confirmation they reject it, that's on them. I can only expose people to my faith, I can't convert forcibly. But to answer the above question, I don't date Satanists, Wiccans, Druids, Occultists, Muslims, Hindus, Jews, most Protestants, most Orthodox, Mormons, or atheists. Agnostics and Buddhists I exempt because it is an integral part of their beliefs (usually) to be accepting of everywhere. And just because I don't date certain people of religious groups doesn't mean I hate them. I have friends and associates of all backgrounds. I just keep them as friends. When I think of someone I want to date, I want that person to accept my Catholicism, and live with it. I would date some Baptists, Episcopalians/Anglicans, Presbyterians, Methodists, Quakers, and Evangelical Lutherans. But other than that, I'd prefer the girl to be Catholic. But then again, my brand of Catholicism is part of faction within the Church that asks for reforms. So in the end, I judge every dating potential on a person by person basis. I'm hard to date because I have standards.

1. Yep as long as they don't force it on me and is not to religious. Like I'm some kind of Jew I guess. I call my self a Bagel & Lox Jew meaning I like the people and the food, but not the god or the praying and I find temple boring. I don't believe in a god as well so don't force your religion on me and I will not show you all the holes in it. 2. N/A Me religious hahaha that is a funny joke. Those I do take yoga at my temple and go to some young Jewish meeting events to meet new people and have fun as long as no one is forcing me to be religious. 3. Never. Will make fun of for trying to covered me. I do have a ongoing theory that 99% on fans of our stuff Anime/manga/cosplay/gaming are not religious what so ever.

I really dont care for any of it but i do feel Buddhist if i had to pick any of them. But i would date anyone of any faith. Just not no devil worship kind of shit....that just creepy! Outside of that i really dont care.

> Just not no devil worship kind of shit....that just creepy! Not to divert my own topic, but people of the Church Of Satan are very kind folk who are basically as satirical as Pastafarians.

i wouldn't mind as long as it didn't clash with my beliefs. i'm a christian, and i use to date anyone no matter their religion but.. after a few satanists.. i'd probably have to say no. and i feel really bad saying that because i think everyone deserves a chance no matter their beliefs, but it just didn't go so well and out religions would often clash plus when my father wanted to meet him and he came over wearing pentacles and such and refuse to go to church with my father.. it got a bit in the way. tbh drugs and drinking are more of a bigger issue than religion.

1. Yes. Only as long as they let me express being an atheist and them not forcing me into their religion. 2. Seeing as I'm not religious, of course. Atheists and irreligious people are some of the best people I want to get to know. 3. I wouldn't exactly "convert" to their religion, but rather I'd experiment with it just to see what it's like. If I don't like it, I'll leave it alone. Simple.

If they don't shove their religion down my throat or constantly bring it up, then it's fine

It would depend. I agree that you definitely need to find common ground when it comes to that topic otherwise you might just find yourselves never seeing eye to eye which might cause problems down the line. I find myself neutral when it comes to religion. I try to see all aspects of beliefs and respect the persons decision to follow whatever they feel is right. Christianity is my least favorite, but I don't disregard it as a faith either. Agnostic is what I consider myself, but if I had one, I'd be more on the more spiritual kind of beliefs like Buddhist, Taoism, or Wicca. If someone can be level headed and discuss it with me in a practical matter rather than just trying to shoving their beliefs down my throat, then that would be fine as long as there is a mutual agreement to just let that person be their own individual and practice their faith anyway they choose. I don't think you have to date someone based on similar ones, sure, that would make things easier, but you would never broaden your range of perspective if you don't at least take someone else's faith into consideration.

I'm not religious and it wouldnt matter if my partner was as long as they dont try to make me believe what they do and don't make it a bug deal if i was of a different Religion or belief.
