There's no way I could be in a relationship with someone religious
I simply can't respect them if they believe in something so patently absurd
Absurd in what way?
OK, I'll bite
Religion is absurd. The claims are utterly unfalsafiable, it literally relies on accepting something without a shred of evidence
That's without even delving into the fact that an omnipotent being is an impossibly a la the omnipotence paradox
The religious are choosing to believe in something patently ridiculous. I have no respect for that, and respect is the foundation of a relationship
Sure, if you're a true believer in the big-g abrahamic God. But there are plenty of polytheistic religions that don't include omnipotent beings, and even nontheistic religions like Buddhism.

Even satanism is a religion, but their beliefs are basically just "be a good person".
I’m not OP, but imagine dating a flat earther. Most of us could agree it’s an absurd belief to hold, right?
