TOPIC NOT FOR EASILY OFFENDED.
This is not a topic about questioning it, please keep it nice.
How important is somebodies religion for you when it comes to dating?
Is it irreleavant?
Does it have to match yours?
Or do you prefer atheists/antagonists?

Do you follow British law & order?
Religion is also a law which was created by our ancestors, to maintain and nurture human kind from distinct, but we started to disobey them but we got technology and science now to clear the mess. |

I had an extremely religious upbringing so much so I was put in care at 13 because I'd no longer attend. It kinda put a block on the whole religion thing for me. The word hypocritical springs to mind if I'm honest but that's my view and I'd never dismiss anybody else's becouse of my own. It's an opinion nothing more.... |

When you say dating, I’m presuming you mean with a view to starting a relationship and not a no strings sex kind of thing.
I’m not religious and previous boyfriends haven’t been either. This wasn’t a particular choice of mine, just the way it happened.
Would I date someone religious? I suppose it would depend on the nature of their beliefs and how willing they were to compromise to accommodate my absence of religious beliefs. For example, I might struggle with no sex before marriage and bans on contraception!
But assuming our views weren’t entirely incompatible, then I would gladly date someone religious and would be happy for them to practice it in wherever way they felt necessary (providing it wasn’t causing me or anyone anyone else harm of course).
I think it goes without saying that they’d need to respect my beliefs (or lack of), and if they tried to force their religion on me it would most likely be game over. |

Not that important. As long as they're not annoying about it. Especially goes for atheists, I don't wanna use the shrek fedora pic on someone I'm dating |

So let's assume you get on well, and you end up raising kids.
How would you go about that?
I assume it could be controversial if you two are of different religious views.

When I had my daughter we decided to allow her to choose what she wants to be when she’s old enough, her dad is Mormon and I’m Wiccan, my sister had a fit when she realised I wasn’t having her christened catholic, that was a big argument, I believe it’s each to their own, it’s ok to ask questions and get a perspective as long as people don’t try and force their own religion on others, let people choose of their own accord and be whatever that want |

Very, i see no point in dating someone with incompatible views

I think that anyone who thinks they can say that there is 100% certainty there is or isn't a God is intellectually not on the level i would require for important conversations, not just about religion. When dating someone, I'm not looking to become their teacher.

I prefer agnostics |

That's also my view, hence I couldn't date anyone with strong religious beliefs. |

I think it’s ok to have strong beliefs as long as it’s not pushed on others, I believe in what I do very strongly but I’d never force anyone into it, I do get a lot of questions and requests to teach aspects of it but unless they ask I’d never push |

I am not sure I could date anyone with strong religious beliefs.
I live my life according to my own moral beleifs. Every choice I make, whether I am a good person or not.. that's all on me.
I have plenty of religious friends and as much as I will ask questions and such, I wouldn't want it in my face. I can't help but think it would be when dating.

I couldn't date someone who was properly practicing a religion. I have no problem with people being religious, but views in a relationship would be completely different. Just like I couldn't date someone with extreme opposite political views to me. Couldn't deal with disagreements over religion in a relationship. |

Politics is probably another one that I could not deal with. If their political views are very different from mine the same principle would apply to morals etc. so that would be a no go. |

If it's an NSA encounter it's not a subject that's going be the main topic of conversation. I couldn't date some one that held conflicting religious beliefs. I try to be respectful of others beliefs and know there are couples that do co exist perfectly happily even though they have different beliefs but it wouldn't work for me. I'm an atheist. |

Most of it could be wrapped up in class really. If a husband and wife come from completely different class backgrounds then i cannot see how they could make key life decisions without one being submissive to the other. Hence why Corbyn is on his third wife because he ain't a submissive guy! |
