    Yes and I have.
    I believe faith should be a personal and individual thing.
    I would not however in all honesty .. be able to make a commitment with someone who believed in something I was against.. because while it is a personal journey.. I could not be with someone that there was not a common ground.
    If we had differing opinions on the same area.. that is ok.. but to believe in something the other is against.. is a rather lonely area in the relationship.. for me anyways.

    I am an athesist, and I would. I haved dated protestants, catholics and so on, I am politically conservative, and I find for most people agreeing on what is moral behavoir, is more important than religion.

    I suppose if she was a good cook I'd date her. I'm not tied down to any one religion anymore.

    No I would not. There are too many values and principles I live by that I need in common with the person I married. I want us to be in harmony and in peace together. I want us both to follow the same path in life and use the same guidebook, if you will. I need us both to look to the future with the same goals. It's what makes a true companionship for me.

    Love knows no boundaries.

    If its meant to be, there is always a way to work around the different religions.

    religion is basically theologies written by the church organization and is not a reason not to date someone, but beliefs in each person if conflicting could cause issues between them especially if the belief is strong and that could lead to resentment

    Sure... Why not? I'm Methodist.

    I dated a Lutheran for 2 years; dated and lived with (for almost 3 years), then married a Catholic (lasted 13 years); dated a Buddhist for over 2 years; and dated and lived with (3+years), then married (4 years last Christmas eve) another Catholic. At this point, I've 53 years old, have two boys of my own, and three step-children (all over 23), and a step-granddaughter. I don't think having children and in which faith they should be be brought up is a problem.

    I used to think I would never do it, but currently I'm dating someone who is an atheist, and I'm a practicing catholic... And we get along well because he respects my decisions, so he never forces me to anything. And i dont try to convert him either, i think that's where the trick is... To respect each other's beliefs, i think inter-religious couples often fail because they try to impose their religion on the other, and that NEVER works.

    I am more than happy with the person I am right now, and i wouldn't change it for anything in this world.

    Sometimes it's not who you THINK you want, but more what God wants for you (of course, this goes towards the ones who believe in Him) :-P

    Yes I would ,

    I do not see that loving a person has anything to do with their religion. It would not make any difference to me.

    Yes, I would.

    If you think about it, loving someone includes loving who they are. If you are willing to date them, then you should accept their religion.

    Nope.

    It is too much hassle, there are loads of reasons i would not.

    Mainly because parent's wouldn't accept it.

    Sure. As long as they were a good person, it wouldn't matter to me what they believed.

    of course, religion isn't a big thing for me .. i don't care what others believe, it's their thing and i respect it.

    Yes, as long as they didn't try to push their religion on me or try to "save" me (agnostic bordering on atheist).

    I could love someone of a different religion, but I would never date someone who is because I would not want our children to be confused about such an important issue. A relationship, especially marriage, should be about more than love. I want a partner who can better me and provide a stable home for our children.
