Would you date someone with a different religion? Why or why not?

Virgínia · Accepted Answer

Everything that is discussed and clarified works. With mutual respect and openness to understand, I see no problem.

Renan · Answer

Yes, I believe that respect for beliefs and empathy are important parts of the relationship and that fits into the issue.

Martin · Answer

I am an atheist and if that suits my partner then that's fine.

rinuoM · Answer

Yes, I have had relationships with people of different religious orientations and that has no controversial criticism.  
It is my opinion based on my social education.  
On the other hand, regarding marital relationships!!! This is still subject to the terms agreed upon beforehand.

Outside of my religion id only consider marrying an Agnostic/spiritual, Buddhist, Hindu a very moderate Christian mabye an atheist.

Other religions aren’t compatible for me.

Steve · Answer

Personally, I have backslidden immensely, as a follower of Christ. I'm afraid of bringing further shame to Him and The Most High. So that's why I don't talk about my faith like I used to. But my wife is a Buddhist (believes some of Christianity, but is primarily Buddhist, honestly). Spiritually, we are unequally yolked. But I still love her and want to be with her. This is my last relationship, anyway. I've been through one marriage already (my ex-wife was abusive and unfaithful), so this is it for me, either way. I don't have it in me anymore, beyond my current relationship. And I'm no paragon of morality and sainthood, so I just give it my best and love her with all I've got. And I hope and pray that we can lead each other back to God/Christ, fully, at some point (if He will have us and restore our union with Him). (edited)

Personally, I am an atheist, I have absolutely nothing against believing people, what I wouldn't want is for someone to try to impose a religion on me...
