It depends both on the people, and the faith that they practice.
For instance, you cannot tar all Christians with the same brush on this topic, as most mainline Protestants would feel comfortable with interfaith marriage. But a lot of conservative Christian faiths would not be comfortable with interfaith marriage. Evangelicals marry other Evangelicals--even other Christians, like mainline Protestants, are suspect, and forget about marrying a Catholic or Jew.
But faith can be a dealbreaker the other way around. I know a lot of atheists who probably wouldn't date a Christian, even a liberal Christian.
Interfaith relationships work all the time, but it depends on the people who are in them. My best friend is the product of a Catholic marrying a Buddhist, and her parents have been married for 27 years. My own parents are a Lutheran and a hardcore atheist. As for myself, I am Episcopalian with a strong Buddhist flavor (yes they work together beautifully), and my significant other considers himself more Unitarian Universalist. He is going through a seeking period right now, trying to figure out where he fits, and what he believes.
Personally, I could never marry someone who didn't believe in the possibility of a higher power. To me, there are forces and energies in this world at work that can only be explained by the divine, and I couldn't be with someone who didn't value the power of the divine in their own life, or see the divine in the world itself.
