When it comes to embarking on a relationship, how important is it for that the other person share your religious devotion?

I wouldn't necessarily say too important, but I am pretty settled in my beliefs so a Hinduist or a Buddhist or even Catholic, Mormon, Jehovah Witness, etc., they're all out the window for me.

There's no doubt it makes for a much more peaceful home. I know when I'm trying to decide on my next tattoo while having a beer & a slab of bacon wearing my imitation silk robe I don't want Leviticus being quoted to me.

Yes it really is. I would not want someone overly religious or devoted in an organized way, that would get on my nerves, something awful.
It is important in that the 2 people agree just enough (they don't have to agree 100%) that they can get along without it being a constant issue.
If both are fanatically devoted religious people, then fine. If both atheists, fine. Somewhere in between but don't have it as a bone of contention, fine too.

I'm not the 'religious' type, so if you are....you better respect me and not be too radical about it.

Yeah, as someone once said, "A house divided against itself cannot stand"
