i think that if they are mature enough to respect each others ideals, that it could work. but when they fight/argue and they start firing the 'religion' bullet, thats when they have to know that they won't be able to mesh well, EVER.

It won't work. When problems arise in a relationship, you can usually work out a compromise that will work. With religion there is no compromise. It would be ridiculous to think you could become a little religious and the other person could become a little less religious. Don't even go there.

Maybe they are soul mates. Soul mates have nothing to do with looks, background religion, financial status, but rather it emanates from the heart of God. Divine Lovers. What comes to mind is the marriage ceremony, the part, "what God has joined together, let no man put asunder." Most people get married based on their ego, soul mates are very different. We are coming into a new age where many people are meeting their soul mates.

It sounds like both sides are "extreme"; which means it's probably 50-50 (I am basing this upon human nature and your obvious youth 'beleave').
Why worry about it?
Both people do not have to disbelieve or believe in the same religion to like each other - it's called respecting their space and individuality as they do yours.

Love transcends great differences.
It could work, as long as respect between the two is deep and mutual. Provided it is, this difference would never become a friction point in the relationship.

If you can look past your religious differences. If you keep throwing religion in their face, no. What about politics? Differences in religion and polics can be a killer. Make sure you have a lot more going on in your relationship than those two things.

i am an atheist and i could never date someone who is extremely religious. there are just too many clashes in the basic fundamentals of each individual.

Hmmmm... my dad is an agnostic and my step-mom is about as Catholic as a Catholic can be and somehow they make it work... not quite the same thing, but close. The secret is she does not try to convert him and he does not try to 'unconvert' her.
Personally I would not find happiness with a particularly religious person.

If both of them choose their relationship over what they believe in, the relationship may survive, with consequences that each of them should shed things or two so they can tolerate each other's differences.
In contrast, if they hold firmly on what they believe, well so much is a relationship....

I think that after a while of living together, it will be that either the disbeliever will believe, or the believer will disbelieve.
Someone has to give in...and I hope the disbeliever becomes the guided one...
