Would you date someone who was not religious?

(Whether agnostic or atheist...) but you were religious?

And vice versa..would you date someone who WAS religious, but you were not?

As an atheist I would have difficulty dating someone who was a member of any religion. I guess I could just about tolerate someone who had a vague notion of a "higher power" but anything beyond that would take me into areas of irrationality that I simply could not tolerate :)

@Adeptlinguist I think I am becoming less tolerant of religious people as I get older.

@JimboSaturn Me too. It's partly because of the "Christian Nationalists" who have become so prominent in the US, but there is a general trend elsewhere (not a good one) to try to (re)introduce religion into secular society.

In my view, religion has absolutely no place in public life. It should be a private thing and should have no influence on legislation, education, healthcare or anything else that matters.

@Adeptlinguist I agree with you 100%
