Started dating this girl from work. She's beautiful, great personality, wonderful chemistry and she's even good at intimacy, if you know what I mean...
But I just found out that she has a rather odd choice of religions-- she's a member of the Church of Satan (no joke).
Apparently her family has connections that go all the way back to Anton La Vey (read a little about him on Wikipedia).
She's not trying to convert me to Satanism, and as far as I can tell, she doesn't do much in the way of relgious celebrations or rituals as far as Satanism goes. Of course, this is something that she had been keeping pretty private up until now.
I'm not religious at all, but I never thought I'd ever be dating a practicing Satanist.
Does her religion matter in our relationship? I've dated Catholic and Protestant girls before, and it never mattered in those relationships.
What would you do?

What's more important to you?
A girlfriend or religion?
Are you concerned about introducing her to others as "My Girlfriend, the Satanist"? Is it really necessary for you to?
To some people, their choice of religion is a personal thing. They respect others and their choices, but choose to believe in their religion and will not force their beliefs on others. Others believe their religion is absolute and will convert others at all costs, or attack others that follow other faiths, and there is a million shades in between.
So your girlfriend is leaning more towards the former, and she's more of a non-practicing Satanist. So what's the problem? She sounds like a nice girl, and you're getting along.
Note that she kept her religion private, as she's probably gotten used to a knee-jerk reaction that she likely receives when she tells someone about it. She shared it with you because she trusts you and likely cares about you, and thinks of you as intelligent enough to respect her for her choice.
I'm not religious at all. I wouldn't care. Plus, apparently she's beautiful, got a great personality, there's wonderful chemistry and she's even good at intimacy...

It always matters. One of my parents is Baptist and the other is Catholic (that's technically even the same religion!) and that was definitely a *major* contributing factor to the problems in the marriage that led to divorce. (And that's not just from the warped mind of the kid.. they both confirmed that with me.)

I don't think I'd make an issue out of it.
If things are going well, why rock the boat?
