In the past, I have dated both. Politics wasn't really a big deal. Religion wasn't really a big deal. Fast forward to today, and facing the divisions we're all dealing with, religion pales in comparison to the political divide. In conclusion, I'd date someone religious before ever considering dating a Trump supporter. They can go to hell, which does not exist, but y'all get my point.

They're the same thing.

Neither. Regarding politics, I don't see myself dating a republican. Most are arrogant, stupid, and bigoted. Regarding religion, I'd like the woman I date not to suffer from IFS (imaginary friend syndrome). And I'd also like not to date a woman living in a fantasy world.

After seeing how the Christian right continues to support Trump, I would say that political views are more important. I think politics has more of an impact on behavior. The liberal religious people I know are very accepting of non-believers.

Neither. It would never happen

Religious. I can see myself having elevated debate and discussion and a dynamic relationship with a religious man who truly follows the doctrines of Christ to care for the less fortunate and show compassion and forgiveness. They are an increasingly rare bird in American life. I'd rather someone who has my same beliefs, but if I have to choose, that's my choice.

Nope. Been there, done that. Each time religion/politics came up, I wanted to claw their eyes out as I can't stand ignorant idiosity. This led me to understand about that I'm attracted to smart human beings. Someone who supports Trump or looks up to the sky and prays to get that job done instead of getting work done and making progress... Nope - I'm going to bitch slap them.

No. I couldn't do either.

Neither?! There's plenty of people out there who share my views. Why waste time with someone who doesn't suit?

If they can discuss rationally (by which I mean not sinking to name-calling, snits, yelling etc ) either would be fine, I love a debate.

That's like asking if I'd rather cut off my left hand or right.

Religious.

Decided a long time ago (2016 election ?) to say NO to either one! ? to believe is a “god” is a little wacko for me already.

I think some religious entities and people are polarizing politics and interweaving them to such an extent that the question becomes almost moot. As some say, I would rather date a liberal Christian than a conservative. Historically, and evangelicals hate to hear this, or read any history of truth: it was liberal evangelicals in the 30's that helped the US come out of the Great Depression. People don't like to think in shades of grey. Marx was correct in so many ways when he said religion is the opiate for the people. Agreeing with that doesn't make you a Marxist when you realize his government system almost always ends in dictatorship. So, I haven't really given an answer for myself. Shades of grey, so, it depends on the individual, but I would lean toward forgiving religious beliefs before dangerous and damning political views.

Oven that for me they usually are the same thing, it’s a non issue. No!

I’d rather be alone.

Opposing Religious views are definitely easier for me to deal with than oppoding political views. Religious views I will respect if that's what gets them through their day. Their religion is their moral compass and personal belief system. As long as they don't impose it on me, I have no interest in arguing about it. However, political views can change society, change our rights and effect us on a real life level. Those are worth discussing, debating and understanding.

Defiantly political views, I love learning new things about politics. But religion, how can people not believe in science?

I don't mind dating someone with mildly or moderately diverse views....however, I can not accept a trump supporter in my dating circle simply because I despise just about everything he stands for and has done.
