dating and religion

Post Reply New Topic

Would you date someone of a differant religion to you?

How would you feel if someone you were dating changed religion?

It shouldn't be a problem if both have no problem with it.

But one hand can't clap....

If said person understood I have no intention of convertong ws okay with that(truly ok, not sayong its okay whilr trying to convert me) and we got along well I dont see why I shouldnt try

It wouldn't bother me. I'm atheist, so they can believe what they want to (as long as it's not murderous etc lol). I wouldn't ask someone to change religion for me. With me being an atheist, it shouldn't even come into the mind of the other person. But overall, I'm fine with them with it.

Well, I can say for certain that anyone that was serious about any Abrahamic religion would be right off the list.

Personally, I wouldn't mind as long as they didn't try to convert me to their religion.

i'm an agnostic. i could date someone who is religious, as long as they werent extreme or fundamentalist, and that goes to their family as well.

As long as I wasn't involved with it in anyway and they didn't try to force it upon me and convert me , I would have no problem with that.

No, I probably wouldn't date people who were serious about any particular organised religion. In fact, I think I can be pretty certain that I wouldn't.

Sure, as long as she doesn't try to impose her religious morals on me. Some months ago I met a Christian (that word is rather ambiguous, sohere is a Wikipedia link to what I mean) who was pretty knowledgeable, and after hearing about her experiences I concluded that religion had generated a very positive change in her life. That kind of religiousness I wouldn't mind at all.

I'd even go through some religious customs if they really mean something for her and aren't obstructive or harmful, I just don't really care either way by myself.

EDIT: If someone I was dating changed religion, well, that's their choice. Changing religion is no small matter though, so I'd be really interested into knowing why would they do that.

No - I wouldn't date an athiest/agnostic who screams with hatred anytime someone mentions the word "G_d".

This is a tough question. In the long run someone usually has to give way or convert.
At least, this is what I have observed in relationships between 1 or more religious people.

How about they both practice these 2 things religiously - love and romance?

I personally wouldn't be able at all to date someone who isn't an atheist to say it bluntly.

The number of female atheists here in the US is a small percentage vs the male atheists. The percentage of single females atheists are even smaller. As a skeptical agnostic atheist, I would settle for an intelligent, open minded female who does not allow religion to affect them very much. Then we could have intellectually stimulating conversations about why we believe as we do.

A lot of theists aren't part of any religion or church. I would settle for that kind.

Fortunately there's LOTS of those!



UNfortunately, that's less common...

I have a very strong preference to only date those who do not believe in supernatural things. I would struggle to date anyone religious.
