No, if another religion will be proposed to me i won't switch to it. It is true that the God is a single, but by the earthen laws we should bear that religion that was thirst for us after the birth.

and then how to explain that people Catholics, Orthodox, Islam, Jews, etc. are ready for their love to change religion?

Anyone who says that I am swtching from religion X to Y because I found the truth in Y is bluffing to himself. All religions are based on faith. If some can't find faith in a religion they are already practicing but can find in another religion means that they do not know much about their religion.

usually wamen change their religion, and not because were found in it but for men of another religion...

That probably means they love their husband more than their religion. Some men do too. May be they never deeply believed in their religions in the first place. Else, how could someone change their belief system overnight.

and is normal for your love to do this ... if religion would have body and soul and could love, then no one would change it, but it is not, and is only one half in this big world. anyway I think religion only is changed on words,but in soul remain the same.

I guess it's perspective because god and religion mean different to different people. But in general terms, changing religions is absurd to me for whatever reasons (It's just my opinion). When you grow upto 20 plus years, you are bound to form some belief system in yourself. So if someone says that I am changing my religion it only means two things to me. It's either
1. You are already associated with the new belief system long back and you are now just making it official. These are people who have been studying and probably practicing the new religion for a while and find it enlightening or something. So they are not actually changing their religion because they never really followed their original religion
or
2. You are bluffing yourself. "I love my spouse so much that I am going to switch to his/her religion" That's a lie because you cannot change your belief system for someone else. You may try to look like a new person from outside, but inside you are same person with the same old beliefs.

I am an atheist and suppose I befriended a beautiful, charming, caring (all what I ever wanted in my wife) christian/muslim girl who wanted to marry me but also wanted to change to her religion, I would say no. It's also a bit insulting to expect a person to change their religion, because it means you have no respect for what the person believes in. If I married a girl of different religion, then it would be ideal if she followed her religion and I followed mine, and I would probably take her to the church/mosque etc and celebrate her festivals as long as there is no messing with each other's heads about religion

I know a LOT of men who became Christian (including being baptised and attending church) just because their girlfriend dreamed of getting married in Church! But these men did not actually believe in anything, they just wanted an easy life Usually the couple stopped going to church again straight after the wedding! Some churches are getting very upset about people doing this!

Are the couples happy with their marriages? If they are, thats what matters.

happiness has no basis in religion ... are couples who only subscribe to marital status and do not marriages but are happy, or who generally do not legalizes relations...

It certainly does because for many religion is their belief system. If someone's changing their religion only to get married, then what matters most is if they are happy with that person.

I don't believe in God, but I wish there was something after death.

I had a Catholic education, but for me it did not work

Why would you want to be a world after death? You want to live more or, in such way, comfort you not to be afraid to die?

Would be good if there is a heaven after death, as saying the religion, but that we will know at our turn, when we will die. if someone would return for a few moments, to tell us that there is such a place, as when we will get there, we are expected, then we do not fear to die; if so, will not be called dead -but,"the big trip" or "the passage in to another world"...

If will know what is After, will we live happier? will we have the feeling that we must live cause the life is unique and precious ? no.. it would not be so

[aimhigh]

Yes, I believe in God because there are power that we can't explain and there are many things on this world that are hard to explain even by science.
