I don't think that any religion would bother me, so long as they respected my Judaism. I was raised in a multi-religious household, my mother was born a Jew, yet decided to convert to Methodism along with her father, while my grandmother and I still went to temple. My father was raised Southern Baptist, but turned his back on that faith because he felt it was full of hypocrits. He takes very seriously the passage that states: "Worship me in a closet, not on street corners, for those who do are hypocrits." So he calls himself a "closet Christian." Having grown up with such a variety of faiths, it was instilled in me to be respectful of all beliefs.
I guess what it comes down to, is that I want someone with faith, whatever it might be, but not someone "religious."
