Does religion matter to you when it comes to marriage?

Yes. I would not marry a religious person except possibly for a few religions that are more philosophical, but with no deity. That leaves out all Abrahamic religions.

It's not that I care if they are religious, as long as they aren't fanatics and don't push it on me. But I know that a religious person would never truly accept me, even if they say they do. In the back of their minds they would always wish I was their religion.

[Subtle_Luminescence]

Absolutely. It's the first and the most important factor.

[CupcakeTheDestroyer]

Yes, because that’s the reason a majority of people get married in the first place. If I marry someone, I don’t want it to be for religious reasons.

[TrueConfection]

I’m already married, but if I was single I wouldn’t date anyone that doesn’t love Jesus.

[Simslover92]

We need to be equally yoked so it does.

[IslaTheWitch]

not really... I'm definitely not religious :D

I would marry someone who is religious only if I am not forced be religious.
I don't like it. She can do whatever she likes but don't include me.

All the wars were fought in purity of the religion.
All the discrimination happens based on religion.
So I don't like it.
In India where there are multiple sub religion, people harassing the lowest caste.
Forbidden to drink water, forbidden to visit temples, untouchability is still practicing.

Yes. I am married now, but when I was single, it was very important for me to date and marry a woman who is also a Catholic.

[slatyb]

I'm secular, and I would never date a believer, whether Christian, Muslim, Hindu, Wicca, astrology, alternative medicine, whatever.

[Jersey2]

Think of it as a challenge. Anyway, you would never be confused with someone who was tolerant or easy going.

[slatyb]

@Jersey2 I'm tolerant and easy going. People can believe what they want. I have no obligation to date them, no interest in living with someone making decisions based on nonsense. I can respect people without respecting their beliefs.

[Jersey2]

Meh, you’re “holier than thou” with the religious part. Whatever.

[slatyb]

@Jersey2 my beliefs are based on evidence. I don't understand people who believe something because other people told them to.

[Jersey2]

I am not talking about beliefs. But you use it to put yourself above others… and here’s the thing, you aren’t. I think you just need to believe that you are smarter than others and it leaks out of you into everything. Get to the core issue and that is where you will find out what drives this.

This is how you come off to people, like a twat:

[slatyb]

@Jersey2 Who here is judging someone they never met? There's no evidence for any deity, and I don't understand people who believe without evidence. Their way of thinking is foreign to me.

[Lliam]

Yes. If she's religious, I'm not interested.

[Jersey2]

I am Catholic. She is Methodist but converted to Catholicism. I don’t go to church but I believe. Other religions are fine in a girlfriend.

[DrPepper12]

Yes. Cultural religious stuff is fine. ✅ Religion is not. 🚫

[soe11]

• Not at all.
• I have no religion.

[Grap83]

Yes, she must be Christian, preferably Catholic.

[chocolatetwopointo]

yes, i dont want somebody trying to make me part of their religion

[wkhan_87]

Yes because religion is very emotional subject. It should be same for better life

[pantspantspants]

As long as they aren't super religious and restrict what I can do or eat

[ChicoFromThe305]

Yep.

[Mrtcn01]

[jahaims]

Duh.

[Hispanic-Cool-Guy]

Yes.
