It's strange....
....I never realised you could be so into someone at one moment, then so out of them the next.
That's what religious talks do to people with differing views I guess  (Careful - don't want a religious flame war here!) |

That happens when I find out that someone I fancy smokes. Instant turn off. I can't help it.
Sometimes views or beliefs are too strong to be ignored. I was about to say that I don't think religion would put me off someone because I'm really not religious in the slightest. However, if I found someone who was really into their religion and started trying to force their views on me, that'd be the end of it. Similarly, if Leon tried to purchase a chavved up Clio.... I'd have to seriously re-think our relationship

I don't think religion would particularly bother me if I fancied someone until and unless they tried to force me to believe in the same. I'll respect peoples right to believe in anything provided they respect my own and others right to believe in nothing or the complete opposite i.e. they will not either disrespect or try to hurt them for an opposite belief, whatever it may be. I don't mind a debate on religion but someones right to preach to me stops when I say "sorry, not interested thanks" and likewise I'd try never to preach my views at someone after they said the equivalent.
Conversely views on race are much more likely to be a deal breaker to me. Smoking is also usually a turn off although I could probably look past it, however having had two grandfathers and an uncle die of smoking related diseases then it wouldn't be something I was particularly happy about.

Can I just say, me too. Smoking is also an instant turn off for me I'm afraid (no offence to our resident smokers here). Religion isn't provided it's not rammed down my throat (heck I've even been to church once or twice myself recently).

Religion and smoking (obviously) aren't issues for me, but an instant turn off is hearing / seeing someone being intentionally cruel
