i wouldn't really care, unless that person would make go and change my religion for them. a person you love or care about deeply should just let you be who you are. as for myself, i'm catholic and i wouldn't mind dating anyone thats not my religion or is.
like for example. my use to best friends dated each other. J (boy) and T (girl).. T is a very religious christian and J is morman. She always wanted him to change his religion and go to church with her every friday. now i didn't have to say anything but they asked me, and i said if you guys like each other so much. you should let you guys be who you are and not get interfered.. cause religion is something your raised in.. not for something you want that person to be.. |

Well usually people our age would be more open-minded and not really mind about different religions (or none at all) between you and your partner. But I think we need to consider that it's most likely the parents or other family members who are more devoted to their religion and do not want their kids to be with someone who wouldn't be converted to what they believe in.

To be honest, I probably would mind. My boyfriend says that he's catholic, but he doesn't practice catholicism. If he did practice catholicism, we would not of made it 2 years.

I would mind. I'm Catholic myself, but I don't agree with some things in the Church. It'd probably be hard to date someone with different religious beliefs. I'm into the whole abstinence thing, too, and it puts people off sometimes. But I don't care. Hopefully I'll find someone that respects my opinions.
But then again, I wouldn't mind venturing to other places to see what other religions are like. It'd be a learning experience for me. |

It doesn't matter to me at all, If the other person was really hardcore with there religion and was trying to convert me and what not then yes It would matter a lot. But I would never count someone out based on religion alone.

this is such bullshit to me to say things like if you love and care for someone you would accept them no matter what religion. no ok, if you loved and cared for someone you wouldn't want them to burn in hell for all eternity and would try to make sure that didn't happen to them. i mean i think those who try to convert others are completely annoying, but maybe it's better than the ones who think you are going to go to hell and are just fine with letting you be? i don't know...just something to think about.
i think people just want to sound like they are open minded and accepting when really it makes absolutely no sense if you're going to claim to really believe in it. |

which is why i would not date guys who're religious. sure, if they say they're christian/buddhist/whatever but don't do much about it, that's okay. if they're all about going to church on sundays and whatever, no.

I do think so.
I'm in two religions (one more than the other) but I want to marry to a roman catholic, just to marry in a roman catholic church. |

If you don't get married in The Church it isn't recognized by The Church. Which is a problem if you're a devout Catholic. |
