I describe myself as "agnostic as f***", and I'm currently engaged to a christian (non-denominational) and it really doesn't play a factor at all. When we started dating she was a recently converted Mormon (I was a Mormon briefly as a kid, so it didn't freak me out, but I knew exactly how wrong those people are) but I understood that she had gone through some rough times, and that what Mormons do best is swoop in on people who aren't doing so hot who might have a slice of religion within them and make everything they have seem wonderful. She figured out that it was all BS and that she just liked the atmosphere and the people (say what you want, but Mormons when they're not jamming their awful religion down your throat are very nice and helpful people).

So now she doesn't go to any church, does a quick silent prayer before some meals, and I can't say God dammit as much as I'd like. That's it. In this culture especially coming from a rural area like we did, I can't logically fault someone for being religious to the small degree that she is, and she still makes all the right decisions in life without being overly influenced by God or anything like that. She has also said since the beginning she will never try to change me or my views on the subject, and that our children will be free to make their own decisions.
