Religion has definitely driven me away from some girls, but then again I've been with girls that were religious but not intruding as well...could go either way.
I think that one of the partners in such marriages has historically converted before or during this marriage, though.
Obviously if one is willing to date someone of a different religion than himself/herself but wants this other individual to convert at some point later on (if the two of them will not have already broken up by that point in time), then such an individual should vote "No" in this poll here.
My neighbors down the street are Jewish/Catholic and neither converted and they celebrate all holidays.
In terms of celebrities I know that Bob Dylan was Jewish and his first wife he had his children with wasn't and no one converted. They celebrated all holidays. He did convert on his own however after their marriage for awhile. I'm not sure what he is now.
My mother was Catholic and my father was nothing. She went to church every Sunday and he stayed home and watched television.
I no longer subscribe to any organized faith and doubt I would 'convert' to one in the future for someone.
I say whatever works for people.
I am willing to date someone of nearly any religion, as long as they're not a fundamentalist or extremist. In other words, I won't date anyone who believes their religion is the only true path, or who sees it as their duty to "save" others by attempting to convert them. Believe what you want to believe, but acknowledge that your beliefs are yours, and not everyone's.
As for me, generally Yes (and for the record, I myself am an agnostic who admires certain aspects of the Jewish faith/religion and/or culture). If this woman's (I am only interested in dating women, at least for now) views are not too nutty, then I don't particularly care that much what religion she is just as long as she is not a Scientologist or something like that and just as long as she does not try/attempt to force her religious beliefs on me, on our future children, and/or on any other family members of mine.
I would. I'm not particularly religious. In fact, I dislike religion, but am willing to be open and learn from other people's perspectives so long as my partner isn't religious either.
I'd prefer someone who grew up and was taught religion and then began to reject it, because we'd more likely be on the same page and experience, and similar cultural upbringings.
No, because I'm non-religious, and that's a significant feature of my outlook/worldview.
I would want to be with a guy who shares my general perspective in this domain.

Oh, and I almost forgot: I can't be with anyone who has any religious hangups about sex that prevent them from fully expressing and enjoying their sexuality. That's a complete turn-off and dealbreaker for me.

You are talking about the modern era, though. I was talking for, say, the pre-World War I era, when inter-religious relationships and marriages often eventually resulted in the conversion of one of the individuals in this couple.
You make it sound like you have LOTS of experience (lol)
Those wagons have circled more than once.......
