Ok, this kind of stemmed out of the "10 Necessary Qualities in a Guy" thread and someone mentioned that the guy had to be of the same religion, which totally got my brain gears moving.

I totally respect people and their devotion to religion. I find that to be absolutely great when that engery is focused positively into the promotion of mankind.

But I am still a little confused about religion and relationships.

I am not super religious, but being buddhist, I only place my religion with my culture, not necessarily something I solely believe in. I am not trying to dismantle someone's requirement in a man, but I was wondering if you could explain why there is a need for like religions together. I have had maybe one or two friends that have expressed this requirement and I do not quite understand it. And if you don't see a relevance, voice that opinion as well.

It's just that to me, love and trust are separate from religion. Is it ABSOLUTELY necessary or is it just a preference?

Maybe it's because as a buddhist, by culture, and I am in a relationship with a man who has been raised agnostic/christian, I don't really understand the real necessity (as in alike faiths) for it.
