Unless you both are very open minded and have agreed to not agree on some topics, then perhaps it could work out. But usually its doomed for failure. There are just some heated deep rooted areas that are deal breakers and better to discuss them up front then to pay the price after the fact and waste each others time.

I can and have. None of them went to church, but they did believe. We just never talked about it. It was fine.

Live and let live attitude rest is caring for each other

Hmm where have I heard this before? Thank you for your response.

Shit, people give tons of advice on what it takes to make relationships work when you agree on spiritual matters and you can see how dismally that usually works out.

So I'd have to guess there isn't any advice on how to do it, so the best advice would be to run for your fucking life away from it.

If you're not an antitheist, you have a better chance of making it work.. I've gone to church functions a couple times because my bfs family is religious but him, not so much.. At home, we don't discuss religion because we don't want to...

I am a major anti- theist! That is i am against religion. My girlfriend is spiritual, a witch my family line and really believes it. She is not however a theist in any way. We just don't see eye to eye on Magick. She accepts my lack of belief and I appect her Magic stuff. We do talk about it on occasion but it is a what do you belive sort of thing. I want to ensure that it stays that way. We talk to understand so that we are sensitive to each other.
