Also, not all religions are hard core about no sex before marriage, so I don't view that as the only factor.  And if you love someone, why not be willing to wait with them if that is their preference.  Just too many factors to say good or bad without  background knowledge.

We all know we're talking about judaism/christianity/islam here. They're pretty much the only religions in the western world.

I think it really depends on the extent that the person is religious. You have people that will identify as a religion because that's what they were raised as, even though they don't really embrace many of its beliefs or go to church etc. I could see a relationship going ok with someone like that even if you are not part of their religion, because when it comes down to it, they aren't really part of it either.

 

To Sheep: Well neither of us has the whole perspective sheep, I cant definitively say that Males have stronger urges than females since I havent felt a females urges myself to compare them

Also Duck, Yeah I was speaking about those 3 in Particular

And if you read the Second sentence it does say practicing of her own accord not because of Familial pressure

I had a Muslim friend whose Husband converted to Islam to marry her and even then her Dad wasnt happy about it (I suspect because he was white)

Although she was kind of weird she didnt drink or eat non-halal meat but she didnt pray to Mecca and she definitely wasnt a virgin

I'm a Christian and this has not been my experience at all. I've never heard anyone I've met saying something like that. Also pretty much all of my friends are atheists.
