Would you ever marry someone of another religion? It does look like the majority of Americans are atheist nowadays, esp. younger people.

I wuold not marry someone until we had discussed religious differences and had come to terms.

It does, doesn't it? I'm very happy to see it happening, too, as an atheist. Anyway, I'm religionless, but I'd be open to the idea of marrying someone who was religious, provided they were relaxed about it. I wouldn't go marrying any priests or anything, for example.

Yes. The only question is if the person I am marrying as well as their family ACCEPTS my beliefs. Or at least respects me regardless of them.

Actually the vast majority of Americans are theist of some variety. Here is just one study on the Demographics of religion in the US. approximately 80% of the United States believes in some form of organized religion. This was one of several studies that I found that state a similar percentage. http://www.teachingaboutreligion.org/Demographics/map_demographics.htm To answer the question, I would marry somebody with a different worldview (religion, culture, etc..) than my own as long as we could agree to disagree and let the kids (if there were any) to decide for themselves what they wished to believe.

Not if their views were dramatically different, that would be too frustrating.

My wife and me are both Roman Catholics, I did not fall in love with her because of religion but for who and what she stands for. Religion should not be an issue when falling in love and marrying someone, it should be discussed and afterwards respected. There is nothing wrong with atheists, I know quite a few and they are good decent and generous people, at times I wish that some other religious persons would have the moral standing that atheist have, we are very good friends but we do not discuss religion. Regards.

I still don't understand what the big deal is when it comes to religions, and why people are so concerned when marrying someone "outside" their religion. I think as long as two responsible, adult people love each other sincerely and deeply, there should be no other deciding factors (religion, sexual orientation, race, etc.) when it comes to marriage. My goodness, finding that "special soulmate" in life is hard enough, let alone trying to contend with all of life's difficult problems and tragedies. Why let religious differences complicate things?

No, I would never marry someone of another religion. I don't look for problems.
