yes I could as long there was mutual respect.

We can agree to disagree without the need to make one another wrong.

There are things to consider though before getting serious ... for
example if marriage is on the desired path it may not be possible
without one converting or assuming a religious identity.

I make it clear up front what I believe. They are either comfortable
with that or not.

Absolutely, and often have. If I remember correctly, only 7 or 8 of my
exes shared my religious beliefs, or total lack thereof.

To me, it's all about admitting my beliefs are just my OPINIONS -- I
don't know anything for sure, I have ideas, I'm pretty sure about them,
but they're not FACTS because I can't prove them.

For all I know, maybe the Earth really DOES sit on an infinite stack of
turtles....

Discussions on religious beliefs can be really fun and interesting, just
so long as nobody tries to turn it into a recruitment drive....

yes, why not.
As long as we both repect each other's beliefs and traditions, there is
not a problem.

Have dated people of other religions. As long as both people are
respectful about of each other, it isnt a big deal but problems can
occur when one person starts pressuring the other. I am a non
denominational christian. The guy was catholic and he tried to get me to
convert. Probably why he is now an ex.

relationship or if u fought about that/ ur fights are mainly about that
then i dont think i could be with that person

stop me from honoring them.

They would have to just believe that they aren't God. No more control
freaks for me.

Interesting question...

not so easy to answer for me...

Some religions are not so big on equality, and if he was strong in his
faith...nope I wouldn't date him.

Few religions tolerate others and if he was deeply committed to his
faith, and it differed greatly from my philosophies..nope I wouldn't
date him...

too much conflict.

I could date a man, but not a religion...
