POLL: Have you ever dated someone you met at your place of worship or in another belief-focused group?

Poll:

  • Yes
  • No

For some people, dating someone with the same religious beliefs is essential to a romantic relationship. Not having the same beliefs can be a deal breaker. But sometimes, people who share your beliefs can be hard to find. 

The most logical place to find someone with similar beliefs is, of course, your own house of worship, or within another social group established around a certain belief. But if the relationship goes sour, there's no escaping the other person – you're still part of the same community.
