To me, it's less a matter of what the person's religion is and more a matter of knowing how they describe themselves. I literally have a degree in religious studies. And philosophy. So a person's religious background gives me a starting point to understanding who the person is and why the person developed into that who.
I've had really great conversations with people who've shared a religious journey similar to mine, and also with those whose journey has been very different. Rarely, however, have I been able to connect well with people who reject spirituality in favor of strict rationality.
Opinion: I like seeing all the religions listed in profiles, the more info the better you get to know a person!!!!!
I am way more interested in the comfort factor than religion. I was surprised to see it in the profile section.
It'd be nice if Wiccan or Pagan was included. "Other" doesn't quite cut it.
Wait, Pagan/Wiccan isn't included? I didn't fill out anything because I'm sort of a mix of a few religions at this point, but I'm surprised that such a significant religious inclination isn't included. I have quite a few pagan friends.
Never talk or bring it into conversation .. someone bound to get upset
@twinkletoes That may be true of religious extremists, but I seriously doubt that it is true in general. I've talked with a lot of people about religion without anyone getting upset. ♥ Jim
If I'm looking for a potential mate then I want someone that is somewhat like minded. When cuddling with someone in a platonic setting, I don't care what their differences are. I can enjoy this person for the beauty of their mind , their spirit and their contact with me. It's very pure.
No, but I've never been super religious. Besides, along with politics, it's one of those topics I find better left alone.
@Sideon @JT1980 Bit of a surprise, yeah. Might be best either not to have the tab or just have it fill-in-the-blank. My response would be: Californian.
As for bringing it up during cuddling, I'll give a response a la Lana Kane from Archer: NOOOOOOPE!
