Do you think religion matters in a relationship? Options

[AyeVickaye]

If you were a devoted Catholic or christian, would you care if you dated somebody that was a different religion than you?

yup unfortunately....religion does matter. Why? cuz eventually you'll marry someone...but your relationship doesn't end there. Say a Muslim and a Christian got married....everything was going great...until they found out they were having a kid...if both feel very strongly about religion...what religion will the child be taught???

Religion doesn't matter to me. My most... meaningful, I guess, relationship was with a Muslim and I was raised Christian. But then again, I'm not too religious anyway, and religion never came up between us.

Well, traditionally, if a Muslim man marries a non-Muslim woman, the child is supposed to be raised Muslim. But the guy I was talking about, while he identifies as a Muslim, was raised partly Christian, because of his mother. It's a fine line to walk, and if two consenting adults of differing religions decide to have a child, I'm sure there's a lot of finesse and negotiation involved in the child's religious life.
