Yes, so long as both of us understand that the religion needs to be kept to yourself.

It would depend on what you mean by religious. My mate used to go to church every Sunday but did not practice the principals of Christianity...love your neighbor..thinking of someone ahead of themselves....not being a slave to money etc. This is a religious person...but not a person who has a personal relationship with God.
I was not a Christian when I met and married my spouse but if I had to make the same decision again in the future, the answer would be a resounding No, I would not marry someone who did not believe as I believe. Not because I think that I am 100% right about everything...but simply because my relationship with God is so important to me that I would not want to spend a great deal of time and intimacy with someone who did not feel likewise. The Bible says that we are not to be "unequally yoked"...and I think this would be a prime example.

Marriage is a partnership, not an ideological greeting card. There are going to be compromises in every facet of the relationship and as long as you give each other respect there should be no problems. Even people who share a faith have differences of opinion. Some of the most stimulating conversations come out of differing viewpoints.

I am an atheist... and I can honestly say as long as they respected my views I see no problem in marrying someone religious... I mean come on it would be boring if I married someone the same as me!

I'm a Christian, and I'm not supposed to marry people who aren't Christians, but I've got this female friend who's an atheist, and I think I'd have to make an exception in her case. After all, relationships are all about compromise, right?

My mom actually did this, though it says not to in the Bible. Not sure where you're coming from. She waited til my dad saw the truth before having kids though. I personally wouldn't. Small differences can make a relationship work, but foundational things like religion and politics can break people apart in the long run, unless they're not important to either one.

First off, I don't believe in marriage. I do find the thought of a 'unity' pretty cool, though.
If I was in love, and she was religious (with the same feelings towards me) and wanted to marry....I think I would.

that's actual if a Muslim woman desires to marry every person who isn't Muslim. In different words, a Muslim woman is purely allowed to marry a Muslim guy. yet a Muslim guy is permitted to marry a Christian or a Jewish woman. The Christian or Jewish woman would not might desire to transform. She is permitted to maintain her faith. additionally, if a non Muslim desires to easily stay in a Muslim usa, they're allowed to accomplish that without changing or being harmed.

personally i wouldnt. not having the same beliefs can really drive a rift between you. especially if you both are passionate about it. it could end up making huge trouble. ive seen marriages fall apart because of it. i want my husband to support me in everything i do, want, believe in, and see for us. and having the same religion basically ensures it 90% the other 10% is the person you're marrying...
hope i helped
