Are you the same religion as your SO?

I just started dating a Jewish guy and I am Catholic. Neither of us are extremely conservative/traditional so it's not a big deal (yet).
Just wondering.

Jews and christians worship the same god. I don't see the problem.
Over the couple of years, I realized that although I don't go on rants or debates about religion, I'm pretty serious about being an atheist.
I went on a date with a guy and he took me to his church, I just about DIED. Never again!
:love10:
Hubby is Catholic. But not hardcore.

However, many Catholics and other sects believe Jews (along with others) are going to hell... therein lies the problem for some relationships I suppose.

I'm not in a relationship or anything (

I couldn't be with someone particularly devout. A lot of our core beliefs line up which I think is much more important than any particular theology. We are both passionate about education, music, and knowledge.
Maybe that means I'm not a serious atheist, which I wouldn't argue about, I guess I religion is not a deal breaker for me.
Then again, I'm also not seeing anyone so I am free to make these statements, I may very well change my tune when push comes to shove.

It's not something I ever expected, and I still don't believe in a deity in any traditional way (mine's more amorphous and figurative), but I find the community, prayer, and ritual helps keep me centered.

Guano. I was astonished by this. I'm Jewish and I had no idea Catholics and other sects thought I would end up in hell (which I don't believe in). End guano.

I love all the Curl Junkie products. Still experimenting with gels and curl creams. Still hoping for 2nd day hair....

I don't think it's the religion of the SO that matters so much to me as the manner in which he practices it. My ex-husband is a Muslim, and so many people thought that he would abuse me, force me to convert, etc.. His religion wasn't an issue to me, outside of wanting to learn about it, because he was moderate in his practice and not pushy with others about it.
My BF has had problems with women irt his Atheism. Some women look at him and think that he is a clean cut Republican Christian, and thinks clash when they find out that he is a politically progressive Atheist.
If someone was 'my way or the highway' with his religious views, then that would be a deal breaker.
Med/Coarse, porous curly.
Um..contrary to popular belief.. we don't. :tongue2:
To the original question: Yes..my husband and I are the same religion. Neither of us would marry or date (if we were single) non-Jews, period. To do so is a conflict of interest since both of us are religiously observant.
Having said that, In general I don't see why two secular people that just may have been raised in a certain religion or are religious in name only of opposite religions can't date. Cause clearly, religion (if it dictates you should stay within your own) isn't all that super important to them in the first place...
Before we were married, yes...
Ever since the sports thread wars I have sensed a special connection between [edit] & Wile. Like the connection oil has to water. I almost can't speak of it. Wait....my eyes are misting. ~asq
Let’s just stay together and tell the world to kiss our ass. ~P
This. I wasn't raised into any religion, and while my husband's grandparents tried to push Catholicism, it didn't take. We're both atheists and I absolutely would not have it any other way.
Fun Fact: When you actively avoid being “PC,” you’re not being forward-thinking or unique. You’re buying into systems of oppression that have existed since before you were even born, and you’re keeping those systems in place."

By boyfriend was raised Catholic, and went to Catholic schools (elementary through college!). However, he is non-practicing and would probably consider himself an agnostic at this point. Religion doesn't really play any part in our lives.
The problem I foresee down the road is how is family will react towards our future children. I absolutely without a doubt do not want my children indoctrinated into any sort of religion. I have a feeling his family, who are still practicing Catholics, may have a problem with that.

This was a bigger problem for me, as well as child rearing in general. Once it became clear that my SO and I were getting really serious we talked about it. He made it clear that he would back me up on decisions of that nature despite his family feelings. After seeing his mom with her current grandchild as well as his brother/SIL's parenting style (they're great parents, just not my particular style with kids) it was important to me to know if he believed that their way was right or if it was as important to him for us to forge our own way as it is to me. Now that we're on the same page I'm comfortable continuing to move forward. We aren't anywhere near having kids yet but I know that we sync in that way.
