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.

Damn it, I would settle for Godzilla....... (a female Godzilla, of course)

Absolutely no way Jose. Not in a million years. I have had more than my share of drama and now consider myself a rabid anti-theist.

Personally, stay single.
There's a certain mindset the religious people share and that's not a mindset I'm willing to accept in my life.
If that means I spend that much more time searching for my perfect match, so be it.

I have never dated an atheist. I have tried and tried to find one, but timing or the lack of an atheist population makes it difficult.

Stay single, unless every other thing about the individual kind of overrides it. I've dated mostly atheists/agnostics, but with theists, I couldn't handle a pushy one constantly talking about saving me or whatever.

Not all religious people are of the same cloth. I know at least one catholic woman whom I love as a friend, and but for the fact that we are friends, I would see no obstacles in loving someone like her, and being loved by someone like her, despite our "religious " differences.

In other words, she is good people, despite her religion.

And to be honest, she may be the only reason why i still remain open to dating religious persons. 🙂

But she is a rarity, I understand.

Settle? Maybe had I not ever experienced what it is like to be w/ someone who is non-religious. But knowing what that is like.. I know that I can’t. I won’t. There’s too much to be said, pondered & talked about than to spend time with someone that wouldn’t want to converse about either of our sincerely held beliefs & opinions & non-judgementally as well.

I would not ever settle with someone who follows an organized religion that has any exclusivity in its dogma. I am not currently aware of an organized religion without dogma, but I'm not omniscient, so that's the best I can answer.

It depends on the person I am gonna marry. Some people don't mind their partner's beliefs and don't insist to follow their path. I would only marry if the girl is that kind, or atheist /agnostic

Probably stay single but it may just depend on the person and their level of involvement in their religion, it would definitely be a serious consideration. Religion and politics are usually the two primary deal breakers for me.

Nope.

My ex...while raised religious, she was not particularly religious when we met and even the first few years of our marriage, found religion after our first child, all downhill from there. Abusive towards me because I wouldn't convert, change my views to match hers, for years. Of course depends on the person, but I certainly wouldn't step on that field again.

My -ex is so annoying. He is a self-righteous, judgmental, hypocritical, bigoted Christian. So, I am staying single.

If I thought that person was so beautiful that I may could convince her of the truth..... and save her from wasted time of their lives..... but if the brainwashing is too deep, I would rather stay single
