Honesty is the key to great communication. And great communication is the key to great relationships.
Try telling the truth. You'd be surprised of it's power.
Maybe he'd be willing to make it less intrusive in your relationship.
If he happens to be open-minded, anyway.
Otherwise, why bother anyway?
Good luck.

Dear Princess,
Thank you for the good question. You do not give us much to go on, such as which religions each of you belong to, but I will take a swing at it. You may suggest that the two of you are unequally yoked, 2 Corinthians 6:14, that you are comfortable with your present spirituality and that it would be ill advised to pursue a relationship together.
Embrace the Grace

You're not going to look like a jerk. Just tell him you don't think this relationship is going to work. You're both different and that's the truth. You don't even have to mention religion if you feel uncomfortable about it.

Just tell him the only way that a relationship can last or marriage is that both be like minded. You are so right on this because I've seen couples break up because of religion. People feel forced to believe in something that they don't accept. i'm glad that your honest and thinking

What's the religious problem? Is he Christian and you aren't, or vice versa...or what? You will have to be nice about it, though I don't think that's a good reason no to be with someone. I would explain to him that he's just not what I'm looking for, and that I'm sorry but I don't want to spend time on a relationship with someone that I don't really want. Though, I think if you like him, it shouldn't be a problem...religion, solely, should not get in the way of a relationship.

i have met someone, i'm sorry.
Or if you want to tell the truth but in a nice way:
I'm sorry i don't think you and i match together, i think i would be robbing you of a loving relationship with another woman who would be sharing your love for God. I however can not share this with you and therefore i cannot be the right woman for you.
Or (but you will look somewhat like a jerk):
You love God i don't, so we can't be together spiritualy. And what kind of purpose would a relationship have.

Honesty is always the best policy and if you want nothing to do with his religion or beliefs then you and he are better parted. To keep from looking like a jerk don't ridicule or belittle his beliefs.

To tell a guy this does not make you look like a jerk.

Religion is DANGEROUS like a loaded AK 47. You won't look like a jerk, you are making the right choice. Choose life and live!

Why should telling him that make you look like a jerk?
Can't you simply (and respectfully) say:
"I like you but there is an issue. It is the religion you have chosen.
I do not wish to be associated with it. For me, it is a big enough issue to move on."

If you don't believe in his religion or whatever the case. It is hard to answer a question with so little to go on. Maybe nest time you should give a little more info to go on so that you can get a more detailed answer. Honesty is always the best policy
