It really depends completely on their religion, how deeply they are into it, how much of their time it takes up, whether or not it's going to alienate me from their family . . . there are so many factors.
A few things I know:
I would be more likely to date someone who's from a more liberal branch of their religion than a more conservative/fundamentalist branch.
I could never date someone who was really, really into their religion and saw it as the only answer -- although people like this probably wouldn't be too into dating me, either, so I'm not too worried.
I feel more at home with certain religions than others -- I would be more okay with Judaism or Buddhism than, say, Mormonism.
Anybody I marry has to be okay with compromising on the kids' religion. I'm perfectly okay with him taking the kids to church/temple/whatever as long as he's okay with me exposing the kids to other religions (or lack thereof) too.
I would be very uncomfortable getting seriously involved with anybody whose family would disapprove of me because of my religious faith being different from theirs. Not saying I wouldn't do it, but I would definitely think twice about it.
