At this time of my life and for some time now, I am committed to never get commited again, thank you very much. My focus is my family and so on.


However, in my significant relationships, religious beliefs never came into conflict and I am unable to speak from experience about the subject. My purpose for answering is actually very singular. My answer may be PC or controversial. But this is how I feel. Religion would not be a concern to me as long as my chosen individual were Christian, Jewish or had a belief in Buddha. I can respect any of these beliefs just as long as it was not constantly in my face. I would NEVER EVER consider a Muslim believer and here, as a female, I have many strong feelings.

Not really. As long as the person has a good personality and attitude, there's no problem about it. In fact I am a Roman Catholic and dating an Atheist.

Just curious....are you a practicing Roman Catholic? By this I mean do you attend mass regularly (at least once every 2 weeks) etc? Or do you just believe the tenets of the faith without necessarily getting too involved in the activities of the Church?

yes, certainly. I dont think id ever be able to marry an atheist due to my beliefs.

Of course it does and you both should be on the same page! If your religious beleifs differ this could be a bridge too far. If you remember the movie you know how that went. We all differ in what we consider to be a type of religion or faith. I consider myself spitualist so for me to be with a satanist would be next to dancing with Charles Manson...is he even still alive? I'd be burning candles and incense while he would be having a pet cemetry ritual in the backyard...I don't think so...if you know what I mean!
