Would you date someone of a different religion?

Question

HawkPerception · Accepted Answer

I want kids of my own. I don't believe in going to church and wouldn't want to raise them with a religion. I'd encourage them to educate themselves on all kinds of religions, but I wouldn't want to raise them religious. I'd eventually let them choose whatever religion resonates with them if they ever wanted to choose one.

But that's the thing for me... I wouldn't want to be with someone that wanted to force religion on kids. I don't believe morality comes from religion. It's inherent in all of us. We know killing, raping, and stealing are bad. Why? Because of the emotions that it inflicts on others. You don't need religion to direct you in what right and wrong is.

Anyways... I've already tried dating girls that were religious (Christian) a couple times in my life and let me tell ya... that conversation came up pretty damn quickly and was pretty much the reason why we ended things. Conflict in views.

I think I could date someone who is religious as long as they aren't too intense about it. Someone that doesn't mind if the kids don't go church and doesn't mind them not being raised religious.

Most of my family are Catholics and Christians. I myself am agnostic. I don't hate on religious people. I just think that it's outdated and don't understand how with all the evidence out there, that people can believe in it.

I would not date a Muslim and I doubt that I would seriously date anyone who practiced one of the eastern religions. I am Christian Protestant and I have dated other Christian Protestants, Catholics, Jews, JWs, and a Mormon.

Most probably not unless they are like a branch of the same faith. Catholics and protestants for example.

I am not a very religious person myself but having a partner that does not have the same beliefs or that is of totally opposite beliefs or strict beliefs and that places religion on top of his priorities would not work out in the long run because of the differences and possible conflicts that may cause.

However, this scenario is not likely to happen anyway since I am not interested in dating or getting married. Religion would just be another handicap to add to the long list of negative points about being in a relationship.

It depends on the level of orthodoxy both of you hold within your religion. If it's something you just occasionally attend on major family holidays and you're both more "spiritual" than religious then everything should be fine, HOWEVER if one of you takes this stuff seriously and the other doesn't... you'll hit a few snags along the way, especially if you're planning to have kids together.

I would totally date an active   or a literal  , they both  match my spiritual beliefs .

Staximus · Answer

I'm not religious but there was a Christian woman who had a crush on me. She was very religious. I would have dated her and maybe even married her, but she wanted a guy who could support her and a baby. She had baby fever and I did not meet the financial requirements.

Absolutely, it's definitely possible to have a successful relationship with someone from a different religion. What matters most is mutual understanding, respect, and open communication about your beliefs and values. It can be a beautiful opportunity to learn from each other's perspectives and grow together.

Berethor · Answer

Not religious so I don't care much about that, my country don't allow interfaith marriages.

Taniisokay · Answer

I wouldn't marry a Christian man. Let alone dating one.

itsannalee · Answer

I don’t bring religions, beliefs and politics into my relationship. So yeah, why not? Because your belief, your choice.

Ladsin2 · Answer

I'm atheist, but presume I'll end up with a religious woman which is fine. I like going to church and studying religion, so it's not a big deal. I just have to bite my tongue about certain things.

Breanna_nonbinary · Answer

I have but it was difficult. I’m atheist and they were Mormon.

ChicoFromThe305 · Answer

I'd give it a try, although I'd prefer to be on the same page with beliefs.

DrPepper12 · Answer

Yeah but they won't date me! Apparently they misunderstand the tenets of the Satanic Temple

Anonymous · Answer

Depends on the religion. I won't date someone who believes my LGB friends should die. Which would preclude anyone who practices Islam. But I'm an atheist who is married to a catholic girl.

clampfan101 · Answer

Perhaps one similar enough. I’m Christian, so I suppose I’d be open to dating a Jewish girl.
