Would you ever date a religious person knowing what you know .. (whether it be recent or otherwise)?
Yes, depending on how they approach religion. I'm an atheist and Unitarian Universalist, and would have no problem dating a UU or other who thinks of God as a passive force or a useful symbol. I wouldn't agree, but close enough.
Fk no, hell I don't even want someone who celebrates xmas. Quit lying to yourself people.
More than likely not, unless what Qrytzi says below.
I would and have had very happy long term friendships and relationships with everything from Wiccans to Pentecostals, no worries
Like I always say if they can stand the blasphemy, I can send the fairytales ?
I'm leaning towards a "no" on this, but I think there are factors and details that could potentially make me consider it. What religion? How religious (do they just believe in a God? Or do they attend church every Sunday, pray at each meal, make political decisions based on what their religion dictates)? Are they open minded? Do they trust the scientific method? Will they covertly try and proselytize to me? I'm not a fan of bigots or hypocrites and sadly most religious people I know fall into those categories.
I know what you mean. My parents were churchgoers, but they were intelligent and educated, and appreciated science and had trust in it. They didn't say grace over meals, made me feel loved and worthy, they never tried to push any particular belief system on me, and gave me freedom to think for myself. I have no problems with people who believe in a God, who are open-minded and were not fanatics or fundamentalists.
