You might be automatically deleting your soulmate.

It's totally your prerogative. You get to decide who you want to associate with, period. =]

I think it’s time effective in most cases but for myself I will also consider political bent because extreme conservativism will get a very quick no from me. I don’t do willful ignorance very well and in my experience, most extremists willfully embrace their ignorance in the name of their god.

I think you are doing the right thing, efficiency, I had an experience, actually a couple, one guy I was chatting with, told me, it would never work, because I was an Atheist, then another time I went out with a guy, once, we went to visit his sister or brother, I don't remember and when we discovered we had Atheism in common, he never wanted to see me again, his loss !

Well religion is such a big deal for a lot of religious people I would say that is just being efficient

Time effective

No, only the ones that say "If you don't LOVE JESUS we won't get along". Some people list an affiliation out of habit but don't care too much about it.

Most certainly time effective.

Absolutely time effective.

I did the same thing when I was on for a minute.

We want what we want. There is no one size fits all.

Good luck!
