And Why?

As an atheist, I honestly see the tenants and parables of religion as something positive with which to garner some insight upon how to treat one's fellow person. I have dated Christians, Catholics, Mormons, Jews, Baptists, Lutherans, Agnostics, Goths, Buddhists, and Hindus. In every relationship, their religion was not a problem with me, as I accepted and respected their beliefs. The problem was when they tried to change my beliefs into what theirs was and to criticize me for being an atheist. It does not matter what religion another is from, what matters is the mutual love, respect for differences and support that you have for one another, and their willingness to accept it.

Personally, I don't believe that love has boundaries that are set within religion or race. I think that people who are very religious are more likely to not date/marry outside of their religion. I am not a really religious person, but I do attend church. I know that I could love someone that wasn't of the same religion as me if they treated me right and we didn't revolve our lives around religion. I think a couple that marries and is religious and follow separate religions can cause problems down the line though as far as children and what religion they will raise the child- and even as far as a wedding goes- who's religion would they celebrate their wedding with? I am a christian (non-denominational) and I would be happy if I was to marry someone I love, even if it meant just getting married by a notary.

No because religion is such a big issue. I am a christian and I want to go to church every Sunday and take my children to church. This is how I was brought up and so this is what I believe. If I married an Islam or whatever, than how would we ever get along if he didnt go to church with me and he didnt believe what I believed? There would be all kinds of fights because I associate God (Christ) with everything in my life. God is Love, not Allah or Buddah..etc. There is only one God and that is Jesus Christ and if your partner doesnt believe what you believe than look forward to getting into religion arguements all the time.

Before I would get married with a girl that has another religion I would try to get her into my religion caus I would not want to marry a girl from another religion. And I would never convert to another religion because I believe in my religion.
A girl from another religion maybe only as girlfriend but not more.

Yes!!!
Why? Geez, people are attractive because they are attractive. Also sometimes other cultures are interesting. Differences are attractive too.
I stay away from Muslim girls tho. Its not I'm not attracted to them its I'm paranoid by their culture and especially their family; I'm sure in some cases it is ME exagerating but I know in others its good idea. Still one of my friends married a nice Muslim girl and he is of Irish decent. Girls from any other religion except Islam, I am more open.
I have DEFINATELY met Muslim girls that I liked before. Some are VERy nice and VERY pretty.

For me personally, I would not venture far from my basic Christian beliefs as a Lutheran. It is too ingrained in my life.
However, I think to each his own and most people can work it out by respecting the religious differences just like you would any other differences.

Well my bf is muslim...and I am catholic...he is soo madly in love with me and i care for him too but his religion does get in the way of things because of some of the things they believe in i just dont agree with...
SUch as if we marry and i dont name our child with a muslim name they can not be accepted in their church..
there are several things....and at times nearly lead to the down fall of our relationship...especially since his family hated me because i was an american catholic...they even blamed his mother's stroke on him because he was "with me"
Ive dated a hindu too but the whole cultural difference really screwed things up..
if it doesnt wrk this time...im done n sticking to my own kind...there are less complications ...

I don't believe that we consciously decide who we fall in love with - it just happens. I think that if you feel falling in love with someone who was married or of another faith would cause problems, then it's best to refrain from contact with those individuals. Instead, socialize with people with whom you are more likely to be compatible in terms of marital status, religion, or other characteristics that you find desirable.
