Would you marry someone who doesnt share your beliefs?

Let's say you meet the man or women of your dreams and it turns out you both share the feelings of love for one another. However, one difference is you both don't share the same theology perspective.

Example: You are atheist, he/she is Christian and vise-versa

In order, to be married you must convert yourself to the belief you have always rejected. Would you do it?

Depends upon how different they are. Do they believe in a soul and that's barely it? I can live with that. Are they conspiracy fundamental christians who pick at funerals? Hell no.

If he accepts that I am Buddhist, it's all good.

I would not "change my belief" for someone. That doesn't make sense. I could accept someone with different religious belief than me, but I can't change what I believe for them.

If that was an ultimatum, then they aren't worth it.

I guess.
I haven't met another deist (aside from my father).
So I guess I'd have to, given that they aren't particularly indoctrinating with it

I can't really say much because my boyfriend and I share the same beliefs. (Christian)
But if I had to honestly answer this question, I really wouldn't be dating at all.
I mean, I don't care if a person is atheist, really. It doesn't bother me.
But it would have lots of complications with my parents and whatever and they would want him to become a Christian too. So for that guy's sake, I'd rather not try to force it down him.
