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

Not important at all.

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.

I prefer someone who shares my views on religion.

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.

Heck yeah it matters.

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