Would you date someone who doesn't have the same religion as you?

[cth2188]

No I'd not as I believe in God and my mate would have too.

Yes

No

Maybe

[Oigit]

I'm not religious and don't even label myself as a atheist, agnostic or anything really. I have friends and family that are highly religious. But my lack of religion and their strong beliefs are not an issue. Because we don't make it an issue. Things like religion and race are only issues when people choose to make them issues. But in a lot of ways we are conditioned to make such thing an issue.

You could wind up dating someone who isn't religious and be perfectly happy. The same goes for someone of a different race. All you to do us not make one, the other or both an issue and ensure the person you are with understands the above and does the same.

Religion can be real poison in a relation if one of the partners wants to live their religion. From my side, having had a Christian education, I'm only interested in the philosophical aspect, and not at all in the rituals. I can think and make mistakes on my own without the help of some religious instance... ;0)

From the practical point of view, I don't give a damn about a potential partner's religious background, as long as they don't let pseudo-religious bullshit interfere in the relation. We don't choose our family, but we are always responsible for what we do. I mean I want my partner to think for themselves instead of relying on some kind of church and predigested commandments.

[BlueScorpio]

I don't think it would work out. I believe in christ Jesus and I'm not willing to give up my faith or convert to a different one. There's a reason God said not to yolk with people who don't have same faith cause it can cause conflict in your relationship. Maybe not all the time but sometimes it can, for one a Muslim man and I would not work. Most of time they do want you to convert to Islam.

[sage2021]

I could have been married in my early years, but we both had way different religions and his mom was always trying to convert me. I couldn't be in a marriage where the guys entire family had the same beliefs, then there's just me (no family). Just couldn't put myself through it.

[Pinay_ako]

I never really thought about it before. But as long as you’re not disrespectful towards my beliefs, I think I would. Compromise

[William7489]

Maybe, it would depend on how devout a practitioner of the religion they were. If they were like most Americans, meaning they consider themselves religious but only in frequently go to church and don’t live strictly a dogmatic lifestyle, then it really isn’t an issue. However, when you run into a situation where both partners are very staunch believers in their religions and they are different then it can be a huge problem and a dealbreaker. Mormons, people who practice the Jewish faith, and some others, tend to only intermarry for the most part. I know that’s a generalization. Like I said it really depends on how serious the person practices their faith.

[Summeroflove]

Highly unlikely. You have to be equally yoked. That’s the way it has to be.

I don’t think I could date a atheist. Especially with things like waiting until marriage and stuff. I wouldn’t be compatible with someone who isn’t Christian.

[cth2188]

Yes my mate would have to be equally yoked

[Summeroflove]

Yeah. That would be the only way to do it.

[Sixgunsound]

You’d have to establish some ground rules about children and holidays and culture that probably aren’t going to be acceptable to the person of the different religion. For example what religion do the kids get raised in? Something that formative and deeply personal and foundational a part of a persons identity is not something that can just change on a whim because of a relationship. And if it can, it wasn’t so deeply held to begin with.

[cth2188]

My household ( me and the kids don't holidays nor worship on Sunday)

[cth2188]

I wouldn't date anyone who is not Christian and /or doesn't believe in God.

[midnightmoon05]

Love and respect come hand in hand.
I married two diff man with diff. race and religion. Neither was an issue.
I encourage them to do what’s best for them and us.
I don’t like drama and don’t like to cause issues. I love them and accept as they do with me.

[Lliam]

It would depend on how devout they are. We don't have to have the exact same spiritual beliefs, but they have to be compatible.

I can accept their religious belief as long as they can accept my agnosticism.

[Lina26]

Nope. I wouldn't. Religion and traditions play big part in my life

[cth2188]

Same

[cth2188]

I won't date anyone non Christian or God

[Babygirl_S]

I would freely date a Christian. I want to avoid Muslims because I know about the Sharia law according to which he can any time force me to wear a burqa (sorry I love showing off my hair), beat me up (it's legal to beat your wife) and have 3 more wives. He can also easily divorce me by saying Talaq 3 times-no explanation needed. All Muslim marriages are governed by this law instead of the common laws of any country. It petrifies me.

[OpenClose]

I mean ide have to be at least somewhat accepting because I'm an Atheist and there are like maybe 2 women on the continent who are as well.

One of a few reasons I'll probably have to leave the country to find a decent match.

[cth2188]

I wouldn't date an atheist ee don't have the same beliefs about God.

[cth2188]

We *

[OpenClose]

Cool. I mean I wouldn't want to date someone who needed their partner to be religious.

If she doesn't care, I don't care.

[cth2188]

I'm not religion I believe in God and it would be an uneven yoked union. I wouldn't mind dating a Christian or spiritual person like myself.

[tony_baloney]

I would only date someone who didn't believe in any religion. It would cause too much tension and I dont want to disrespect someone's faith just by believing what I do

[UnknownSwede]

I'm an atheist so it would more be a matter if a religous person would date someone who isn't.

Personally I don't care about others religious beliefs as long as they don't try to push it down my throat.

[LogicalGal123]

Love is love. That's the only religion we all have in common.

Everyone is different. For me, I don't mind. At least I get to know another person religion and understand them.

[cth2188]

OK yea I dated someone we were not compatible and it didn't work out never again

[ChiTown33]

Very unlikely. I mean my faith is important to me. I don't have a problem with anyone who doesn't share my faith. But I couldn't imagine being that intimate with someone and us NOT sharing the same faith.

[Paul09]

Religions are so weird. I the end it's supposed to be under 1 god... Religions just separate humans and cause problems. I don't believe in any of it. Id give it a try , but I'm not converting into any religion.

[cth2188]

Noone said you had too and I'm not religious I'm spiritual

[Paul09]

The real question is, would a religious person Date a atheist?

[cth2188]

Ask those who are ok with dating religious people... I wouldn't date anyone who doesn't believe in God

[Sour-rose]

Depends on what they do with their religion? No meat? No acceptance of all? No bathing for a few months? Yeah, no thanks. We ain't gonna make it work.

[Haha456]

that usually never happens. people tend to marry within their own culture / religions / race

[cth2188]

Everyone do what they want as they choose 💯

[cth2188]

I have no desire to marry anyone within my race, religion, or culture

[Haha456]

@cth2188

usually when two people of differnece races marry, both of them are not religious poeple. religious people tend to marry within their own religion.

i think that you should be careful about marrying certain religions because you may disagree with their religious and cultural practices. In certain religions / cultures, women are treated as second class citizens where male family members are treated with more respect. In other cultures, its appropriate / common / normal for men to beat / control/ beat their wives. Not every culture treats women fairly as in america.

In Asian cultures, adult children may listen to their parents more than they listen to their wives / spouses. Asian cultures hold significantly more respect for parents, matriarchs , patriarchs compared to American culture.

[cth2188]

I have been dating outside my race since the age of 17 and married outside my race. We all have preferences and I don't desire my race of men

[cth2188]

I'm not religious number 1 I'm spiritual

[Haha456]

I tend to date outside my race too. These are simply all the things I've gathered over the years.

[cth2188]

Too each their own

[USLegionary]

Date yes but they'd have to be a Similar religion to marry like Jewish, samartian, Orthodox, protestant

[DaisyM23]

as long as i wouldn't have to convert i don't really care about having different religions

[UnknownPuppet]

I dont care about other people's religion. so yes

[JustADudePlayinADude]

Anyone but cultists and Muslims because their culture it too different from my own for us to be functional.
