Would you settle with a religious person or just stay single?

This doesn’t necessarily mean Christians, but any person who follow a particular organized religions, including Muslims and so on. Hahaha! I’d probably just stay single unless the person was very considerate and could accept me for me, but I know that’s very rare as that person would feel the need to save me from some type of punishment so they’d try to convert me.

If they're willing to show the same respect and consideration for my non-belief that I will for their belief, yes - no problem.

I gave up on match and came here for exactly that reason. At every level they all seem to want to push the agenda. But I do not want to be alone either, thanks to this place I am not now 🙂 Hold out. You will get what you want, not just pieces of it.

You are giving me hope. Thank you

I would settle for a nice person that happens to be religious.
I settle for a woman, not a religion, if her religion does not interfere with me or relationship.

Right!

Stay single. I have a few non-religious friends who got married. Since neither spouse was religious they seemed to feel religion was not an issue. But then they had kids and the religion of their kids because very important. In some cases one spouse became a born-again-Christian which became a problem even without kids. It's very important to settle an approach to religion or no religion as a couple and with kids BEFORE getting married. My wife and I didn't have the discussion either but I (a non-Jew) didn't mind raising the kids Jewish. As it turned out we all have college degrees (most include post graduate degrees) and critical thinking won out and the four of us are all atheist or agnostic.

if you are with a woman and she starts bitching, tell her to go home to their own place. Most of them can't afford their own place. They are looking for sugar daddies.

I would stay single because she would make me go to church and probably try to brain-wash me.

churches: "give me your money, or go to hell'

I would stay single

Living with another person is very difficult, then when you get older....just trying to stay alive and staying out of a nursing home becomes an every day problem....keep moving.

I will stay single, tired of the b.s. of you're atheist but you can change to what they believe because I am not good enough without belief! Ugh!!!

Single for eternity before religious wackiness.

Religion does not have to be an issue.

For me, I'd rather bring a date to a dance than to go alone.

So I would keep looking.

In my experience, it just won't work out. My philosophy and worldview are so vastly different - not necessarily better or more rational, just different - that I can't really muster the energy to try to make it succeed as a relationship.

This is hardly an either/or situation. Having a religion doesn't automatically make one unbearable.

I wouldn't "settle" with anyone - religious, or not.

I might marry a religious person. Providing we can find common groud and person doesn't try to convert me back to the bs during the whole marriage. Life is petty lonely without a partner.

Just stay single.
Happily.

Nope. No more superstitious people in my life. It's too heartbreaking to watch them!

I would just stay single, PERIOD. I will and have dated religious women and will continue to do so. I do not date women for religious reasons, or any reason other than the contact that we are able to share for our mutual benefit and enjoyment. If it works, it works. If not, it is what it is.

Singlehood for me. I need to respect a partner. Unfortunately, magical thinking interferes with that. Then there's that whole thnking that I deserve hell thing to contend with. That's sort of a turn off.
