Im dating a muslim girl. She seems pretty chill but one trip to Mecca and then its all "no pork, no alcohol, no music or dancing" its a big risk

For most people the implications are social. There is some tolerance.

If they are onto it,it's impossible if you both are not into it.

Is it a deal breaker if someone doesn’t agree


Nope absolutely not. We can disagree as long as mutual respect of each other’s views is maintained.

To that end I personally wouldn’t put up with trying to be converted or be preached at or guilt tripped into going to church however. You do you tho

Regular churchgoing would be the line in the sand for me. If it's that important to them, then it plays a much bigger role in their life than I can handle.

Plus, when you have kids, you know that shite is going to become 1000x more important to her. Last thing I would want is a wedge driven between me and my kids.

two of the leading causes for divorce are money and religion.

Have that discussion before you get married. People who seem not religious will turn back to roots particularly when little ones show up.

It is not just no religion but whether the kids will be raised baptist , catholic, Presbyterian etc

I could see that working, it if she were Catholic and you Protestant, it would be a different ball game.

My wife and I are both Catholic. It makes life a lot easier.

I am not religious and have dated many girls that are religious. Has never been an issue. Then again I've never been married like 98% of the baws on here have

If you're dating for marriage, having similar religious views and/or interest is pretty important.

For example, if you are a non practicing Catholic and she is a devout southern Baptist who goes to church 2-3 times a week, your religious differences will likely be a cause of strife in your relationship.

If you are just trying to get laid, who gives a shite about religion.

Personally, I don’t care because I’m not very religious, but I’m curious as to what others think.



I used to not care. The last girl I dated was catholic and she constantly harassed me about going to church and such. If somebody can accept the fact that I am not religious it doesn't bother me but I find a lot of women can't. They will suck you off on the first date and then a year later want to cut you off until you marry them because jesus.

Sex, money, religion, and kids are the subjects that demand agreement between the parties involved.

Marry a not so religious Jewish girl. I called her Hoover years ago. Now, I call her Dyson.
