Depends on what she does with it. If she's Christian and goes to church and blah blah blah, fine. So long as she doesn't try to convert me, and so long as she allows the kids a fair chance to make their own decisions (convincing my parents that I'm not baptizing my children until they decide for themselves will be fun, but as I don't have kids it's still a future problem.)
If she's going to run around and biblethump me? Nope. Not happening.
If I had a Muslim girlfriend, may Allah be with her, but I sure as hell am not fasting during Ramadan!

I'd date christians, buddhists and people who don't believe in a religion.
It can be important, especially for relationships that turn serious. As an atheist myself, I certainly wouldn't want to get involved with a woman who insists on circumcision for example. As a general rule I try to avoid the Abrahamic based religions, since their religions invariably involve forcing nonsense onto others at the behest of their god...
I'd avoid muslims for dating. Most muslim women do look really good, but they follow some very dangerous teachings. Oh, and I avoid buddhist girls as well; I've had enough of those 'enlightened' people and their supposed newfound sense of life.
I'll date anyone regardless of beliefs as long as they're not hardcore about it.
If "god" punctuates your speech like a comma, that's a nope.
Human progress isn't measured by industry. It's measured by the value you place on a life.
Just, be kind.
I could date Christian, Wiccan or Ethnic Jewish only. If they were practicing would be too tough. I couldn't get serious about someone would position I'd be perpetually offended by constantly.

Doesn't matter what they are if I like em I like em. Just don't be annoying about it and try to force me to participate. If they can't accept that then we'll just have to go our separate ways. Preferably tho I'd rather date a non religious person like myself so that if children ever came into the picture there would be less inevitable drama
Well, I'm a non-Muslim dude, so I'll never date a Muslim girl because it's too much PITA esp for her, family is against it, it's also quite problematic to be together when there's other Muslim people around. Tried it once, never again. It's fine for non-Muslim girls to date Muslim guys though
As for other religions, unless a girl is really devout it doesn't matter.
Generally, anyone who's super into their religion or extreme about it is a no-no. Muslims are just a no-no in general. Too much hassle as a non-Muslim, so that's probably the only straight-up no.
Christian, Jew, Atheist probably.
I'll date just about anyone but christians. I won't go into why, because I'm tired of getting suspended on the forums here.
Caveat to that, I wouldn't date anyone who had extremist beliefs. Religious or otherwise. Believing in religion is one thing, believing everyone needs to worship your god or die is another. And that includes atheists. Just because they aren't religious doesn't mean they can't be extremists.
For dating, I suppose I don't really care, as long as they're not a fanatic. That goes double for militant atheists.
For marriage, it does matter to me, and I'd prefer to marry someone with similar beliefs to my own (Greek Orthodox), but I'd be willing to adapt and make it work with a Catholic, someone who's Jewish, or someone who's Wiccan. As long as they respect my beliefs, I'd respect theirs.
