In terms of race I have been there, done that and got the t-shirt lol. I haven't any qualms about dating out.
Religion-wise I have more reservations. I am a theist, meaning I believe there is a God, but not in an accompanying religion. I get along best with men who are spiritual as opposed to religious. I don't think I could date a man who was very heavily religious, nor would I be comfortable with an atheist, who believed in nothing. The first kinda freaks me out (no bible thumping, adult baptism, crazy rules about diet, a la veganism, celibacy because Jesus told you so or biblical citations about why I am inferior thanks!), and I find the second view incomprehensible (which is not meant as a judgement, merely that I see the existence of God in the world around me and while I can imagine another viewpoint, can't necessarily understand how you could deny that feeling).
