Yes. I'm a Christian and a Taoist. I thought my girlfriend was an atheist based on some things she said about not liking or wanting to get into religion. Some (many) months later it came up casually and she was like "I'm NOT an atheist!" I'm pretty sure she prefers "agnostic", but again, she wasn't big on talking about it, so I still kinda don't know.
So clearly I don't care. Though she did pick up a book on Taoism and I'm glad she did.
But our relationship is built on the compatibility of our personalities, not our beliefs.

I can't say yes or no because I believe that a husband and wife should worship together, I'm not married and I believe that when God sends me a husband that if will be someone from my church so we would be in the same direction. The reason I couldn't answer yes or no because you can't control how you feel about someone no matter what their belief is.

To an extent, yeah. If I were able to have a relationship with them, I'd consider marrying them(you all know how that goes) but if the beliefs are waaay too out there, then its difficult to have a relationship in the first place. For example, I'd imagine it would be very difficult living with someone who believes that the Catholic Church is the devil incarnated when I am Catholic.

No, because the Bible says that light and darkness ( in my words, meaning what the scripture says ) have nothing in common.. Believers are light and non-believers are darkness. There would be problems down the road. Then would you stay with your beliefs or be pulled to his because you love him so ? Just one of the many problems you may face. I hope you can make the right decision.

I already did. And it's hard work sometimes. But with love, we make it work. Largely, it depends on how mature two people are, and how much respect they have for each other and different beliefs.
The hardest thing is having kids and trying to incorporate both into their life so they can be equally represented.

I can tell you its a huge mistake. I did that w/ my ex. God tells not to for a reason, believe me. But seriously, its very hard. The Bible says not to be unequally yoked w/ an unbeliever. Also, that a house divided cannot stand. My house crumbling to the ground in a heap is proof of that to me.

Well it really depends. I could never be deeply involved with someone who was deeply deeply devoted to a religion.. or that their religion was a major part of who they were. But if they were just casually religious but very open minded and liberal it wouldn't be a problem.

I wouldn't. Now if someone has milqetoast beliefs, they probably don't care if the other person believes differently than them.

It depends. In many circumstances, yes. I don't think I could live with someone who was convinced my life was completely wrong and I was hell bound for it, though.
