How important is religious faith to you in dating?

Is it a deal breaker for a relationship

I mean for answers without putting down any individual faith. Just in general how important is faith to you

[Smart_Monk]

The 1st, 3rd, and 5th chakras are masculine.

The 2nd, 4th, 6th, chakras are feminine.

The 7th chakra is genderless. This is the one spiritual depth is tied to. When comparing chakras for relationship compatibility this genderless one doesn't play a role. ㅤ

Faith is very important to me.

Going forward, I think that the lack of faith in a dating partner would be a deal breaker for me.

I'm an old man, newly widowed.
I don't know that God will be giving me that much more time on Earth in finding someone who doesn't have faith, who just might possibly eventually find faith by being in relationship with me.
Not that I can say that I'm all that influential, of course.

Dating partners who have faith will be a big plus for me.
That doesn't mean that everyone who professes faith is instantly compatible with me, a lesson that I've just very recently learned, or that their faith is necessarily aligned with mine.

I see users of faith in this world, to project their own views, not God's, of what should or shouldn't be.
That, to me, is certainly not faith.

Be careful out there, but do enjoy life.

Cheers!

i'm an atheist so ideally i'd want someone who is similar to me, or if they are religious, not very practicing. but it doesn't matter all that much unless they are pretty devout. in which case i'm turned off, it would cause problems probably

[Simslover92]

I think it's very important to share the same religious beliefs or lack thereof if you're not into religion. It can clash greatly and cause issues within the relationship later on.

[Maybe_Maybe_not]

In practice, I will not please someone religious, and vice versa. Same with New Age beliefs. So it's usually a mutual deal breaker. I probably blend with the spiritual, no churchgoer, type.

[Titanic1912]

My faith in Jesus with me being a born again Christian is very much important to me. If a woman doesn’t want anything to do with Christianity or a relationship with Jesus, then it’s a huge dealbreaker. I will not forfeit my relationship with Jesus for anything, even the hottest woman on the planet!

Religious faith or those who are dead set on a book that there's no proof compared to the proof of aliens then we most likely won't get along. To those who are religious I've got nothing against you and will defend your right to believe and worship (minus radical Muslims who wish death on everyone else).

Just don't see any actual benefits to it.

[queenofcardio]

I've dated religious and non religious people. It all depends on the person

[Nikki1989]

I have no time for religious people. I prefer people that can think for themselves.

[MrChinaski]

I don't care if people have different religious views. Fanaticism, in any cause, is a problem.

[FreyaRed]

Quran and Torahs teach to hate other beliefs. Those both religions are a no go. Why I should trust someone who has been taught to hate me because I don't believe in their delusion.

[Sal_Monella]

False about "Torahs ".
Judaism does not teach blanket hatred of people; its core texts repeatedly forbid harboring secret hatred and enjoin respect for others while also carving out space to “hate the wicked” and to resist influences seen as morally corrosive. Contemporary Jewish institutions and educators overwhelmingly frame Judaism as a tradition committed to countering hate speech and protecting dignity, even as rabbinic sources and some religious leaders debate when intolerance or opposition is required.
Now, prove me wrong, sport.

[FreyaRed]

Oh yeah, I try to make me believe that "goy" isn't a pejorative for people of other faith like for Muslims it's "infidel". Both are the same trash

[Sal_Monella]

Nonsense. Very weak. Try harder, if you can.
I am goyim myself. In the Bible, goy is used to describe both the Nation of Israel and other nations. Now, it is principally used by Jews to describe non-Jews, It is a term for any ethnic out-group, like gaijin among Japanese. I am a Dago (dark Italian). It didn't stop Jewish girls from dating me, But of course, I look Semitic. Muslims just hate everyone except Shi'as.

[Abbycado]

Could be, depending on the faith. Certain ones I am not going to deal with. Not being religious myself, I prefer someone the same as me.

[ZameerAnsari91]

Everyone wants the someone same as they are.

[QuineJessica]

For me yes, I will only marry a Catholic , about just date... I'm not sore to answer to be honest.

[OneViewpoint]

Important only in that I wouldn't date a religious person. The whole premise of religion is something I refuse to tolerate as sane behavior.

[slatyb]

Definitely a deal breaker for me. I'm not religious and would never date a believer, whether it's a religion or just popular nonsense.

[888theGreat]

Believers are to marry other believers. If a believer marries a non believer , it is forever and if he divorces her for any reason other than cheating or abuse , he can't remarry or its still adultery.

[DryGermanGuy]

I really can do without organized religion in my/her daily life.

[msc545]

I think religious beliefs are very personal and they have no place in dating whatsoever.

[Grond21]

I married a woman with a different faith. It took years for us to figure out if we could make it work because faith is that important to us.

[ChiTown33]

It's everything. If we don't share the same faith then we have no foundation to our relationship.

[Alex-Snow]

It is not a deal breaker for me. Maybe as I approach marriage age whenever that will be, it might become a factor. hbu?

[Staximus]

It's not important to me. I'd prefer a woman who is not that religious or not religious at all, because I'm not religious.

[LC75LC71]

About as important as politics to me. So not.

[jahaims]

I wouldn't date someone dumb enough to be in a cult

[Jeff51]

No but try and keep it the same.

[Ariesman81]

It's the only thing that matters.

[Agape93]

Not at all

[jacob33131]

For me it's important.

[ZameerAnsari91]

Its really so important for me,

[MasterKS]

yes, religious people are tough to deal.
