Different Religious Beliefs - Red Flag or Deal Breaker?

Doesn’t bother me, FH says he believes in nothing (except bad karma if he sees my dress before the wedding 🤷‍♀️ Lol).

Deal breaker

Totally not an issue! I'm pagan, he's agnostic, and we support each other in our beliefs. Our families have different beliefs: Pagans, Christians, Catholics, Agnostics and Atheists. In our wedding, my fiance supported my desire to add small pagan rituals that he liked and isn't obviously pagan or going to offend nonpagans. Like asking the family and guests that if they grant us blessings and pledge their love and support, please say "I will."

Neither
Deal breaker if there was pressure to convert

Deal breaker. It's super important that FH and I share the same faith because it can cause conflict in the relationship, especially when kids get in the picture

This is a deal breaker for me. FH and I both have strong faith in the Lord!

Neither, this isn't really something I thought about.

A huge deal breaker! I'm a strong Believer so it was important to me that my partner also had the same Christian beliefs.

Neither! We have similar values and beliefs. We both don't go to church and all that stuff. We know what we believe it but it wouldn't break our relationship.

Can't really say. . . religion has never been a part of our lives

Red flag. There might be pressure to convert and speak to differences in personal culture (such as child rearing philosophies). But thay could be hashed out.

It's a deal breaker for me and for my FH. By having the same religious beliefs my FH and I understand the foundation upon which our relationship lies. We make decisions with that foundation in mind and it governs how we act towards each other, what are our priorities and goals should be, and what we want our relationship to be. Being "unevenly yoked" would cause too much conflict and dissatisfaction for us. It would not allow for us to have our best relationship.

Red flag, but as long as he believed in God id be ok with it. I'm a firm believer, in each his own.

Neither.

FH is Catholic.

I'm pagan/agnostic.

Unless one of you is fantatical, this is managed with communication and respect.

That would have been a deal breaker. I'm an athiest and I am ok with people having their own religious beliefs but could not deal if I dated someone who tried to force religion on me. I don't push my disbelief on anyone and hate when people try to convince me to change my thinking.

I had a Jewish ex who tried to force me to convert, knowing I was an atheist. So, this would kind of be a deal breaker, atleast for me.

It's not a deal breaker. I don't fall in love with someone over who they worship, just as long as we get along and love each other. My fiance and I have different religious beliefs and it doesn't effect us or how we raise our kids

Same as my last response. I wouldn't even start the negotiations process. Having the same religious beliefs but differing on miner points is hard enough--especially once the children come along--even more so when the children hit the teen years.

For me, I'd have to say I'm neutral on this subject. I was raised christian but I honestly don't feel one way or the other. On my dog tags, they asked my religion and I never specified. It's not a big deal to me.
