Some religion requires that you convert to the spouse's religion.
Would you do it just for reason of marriage?

No. I don't think I'd want to be in a relationship where I can't have my own beliefs. But luckily for me, that's not going to be a problem.
Because I'm somewhere in between,
My love and my agony.
I can tell you guys that this is easier said than done. I know this very well because it almost happened within my family and with one of my friends. With my family, they forced my brother to convert and I think he said yes, but my parents and family said NO!! I mean, my brother was not a religious person so he said yes and was willing to do anything to marry the girl. But due to my family's opposition, he did not marry her and suffered a lot... Luckily he is over it now.....
With my friend's case, her parents forced her husband to convert or else they would not have gotten married. He did not want to nor did his family, but her parents forced him... Therefore, he converted just on paper to marry my friend but he does NOT believe in Catholicism at all... They were forced to have a church ceremony and all that stuff too... But the thing is, he never goes to church at all so I didn't see the point of forcing others to convert...
I know it is easy to say that if you are not in that situation, but if you were faced with it... That is a different story.
Respect other people's opinions and views. If we learn how to do that than all of these fights and arguments will not occur.
to have everyone happy and everyone easy, make sure religion not an issue. mom a devout buddhish while dad the total opposite. when big sister married a christian and second sis married the catholic, both said nothing. on the other hand, my sisters never converted according to their hubby's religion.
I would do it if I really wanted to marry the person. I mean I wouldn't believe in it anyway, so it's just a matter of nuissance of maybe having to go to church and all that nonsense.
What are you fighting for? Just mix them into pissing beef balls, stupid.

No. Why would I convert to a religion if I couldn't believe in it? That's just so senseless. Such things should be about faith, not headcount! Respect and tolerance is the most I can give, so if I'm forced to convert (and having to abide to certain rules even), I may just walk off.
Whatever dude.
If you think religion is important or you need religion to guide your own view on what's right or wrong, good for you (I guess). But for me, religion means nothing. If I need to convert, then I convert. In my case, converting to a religion is just like relocating to another city, an inconvenience.

I am an atheist but I have respect for religion. I drive my mom and her friend to buddha temple almost every sunday but I don't go in. My mom and her friend going there because they believe in it. For people who don't believe in it, then they should not go there. People with morals, self respect, dignity, pride, ect. would not go there and using religion for personal gain. People who do it should be ashamed of themself.
Yes, I agree. Love is blind and can influence people to make wrong decisions. If your brother's gf loved him, then she should accept the way he was. She can continue practicing her religion but should not force him to believe what he doesn't believe in.
Yes, that is very scary.
