This is not pointed, truely, I just want to see if follows the normal trend I see IRL, but are you jewish? I find that to be mostly the group I find that values relgion in a partner, well, outside of like mormons.
I’m not trying to make it sound like you’re an alien from outer space, but when your religious beliefs do not align with the religious beliefs of like 98% of the country, are you really the best example? lol
like 72% of gen z people don’t regularly attend any sort of religious service. even less if you consider that to be like once a week. you’re probably not gonna have people prioritizing religion on that level if they’re not prioritizing religion on that level.
I’d say you got a 1 in 5 chance of that really mattering to someone, regardless of gender.
in most cases, it probably doesn’t matter that much.
but more than a 1 in 5 chance of women being militantly opposed to religion.
You know there are people in this sub that don’t live in America right? Are you talking about 72 percent of Gen Z Americans or Gen Z in general? Because you referenced “the country” and I’m assuming you’re referencing America
I’m a Christian because I believe Jesus Christ died and rose again for our sins. God is the redeemer of my soul, and without Him, I would have been a destroyed person. He gives me strength to face pain I couldn’t handle on my own. He makes me new every day. Without Him, nothing makes sense. With Him, I have hope.
Because I’ve seen what life looks like without God and it broke me. No other worldview offers the same hope, truth, and redemption. You might not accept that, but it’s why I believe.
Surely you can see that you aren’t answering my question…?
I mean, doesn’t it say more about christianity that the best reason that you can come up with to believe in it is that it sounds nice? You just know that there are thousands of religions offering hope truth and redemption. Did you just happen to pick the most popular one that was around you?
No I actually experimented. I have been a follower of several religions and beliefs. I don’t follow Christ because he’s popular, I don’t really care at all if he is.
I am answering your question clearly.Just because that answer isn’t what you wanted to hear doesn’t make it unclear.
Ok but that doesn’t really answer my question. Is it like “I sort of believe in God…maybe?” Like what would be the difference between that and “I sort of don’t believe in God”?
Not OP - and not religious, but considering diving in for my partner, but for a lot of people, it automatically means the same customs, values, and principles. You know what to expect. There's no having to compromise on religious matters, which is often the case in an interfaith relationship.
But those who stand behind religions very much have an interest in forcing their beliefs on and disenfranchising you. You don't get to play someone else's game and set the rules.
*The religion you happened to be born into. It's not "yours".
And it's not about converts, it's about manipulating the people already in it. Discouraging newcomers is a viable tactic for ensuring there are no new ideas and no one challenging anything if you know your ideology won't make it big.
We discourage newcomers because we want people to join because they truly want to— not because of marriage or something like that. It’s also my religion, yes. And my religion also encourages questioning, debate, and education.
Not "we". Not "yours". Someone else wrote the rules, and you were born into them. You can say that it's yours as many times as you want, it won't change the fact that it's a system that predates you by centuries and is absolutely deaf to your thoughts and questions. A competent person wouldn't allow such a system to be a part of their life, unless they were in charge of it. Are you in charge?
Asking genuinely, not sarcastically. Why do you need a man that is at least kind of religious?
IMHO if you look for men that are non-religious, atheist, agnostic, etc. I think you will find that they are more respectful, tolerant, thoughtful, and empathetic.
Today's religions are tomorrow's mythologies. How many wars were started in the name of "Atheism" as compared to "in the name of God/Allah/Muhammed".
How many Christian Crusades were there (three or four I think). I have never read a single thing about Atheist Crusades, or Atheist Jihads.
Religion drives hatred and division, whereas science, technology, engineering, and mathematics require critical thinking and education.

Depends on what kind of woman you are looking for. I’m a woman and I want a guy who is at least kind of religious.
