i have two friends who have been together for over 4 years now; the girl is strict Christian and the guy is very atheist; however they LOVE to debate about how their differences of faith effects their outlook on things; it works for them, so again, if you're respectful, and can agree to disagree it shouldn't be a negative impact either
My situation is exactly like this.

The only major problem I could see that comes up, is the discussion
of what they believe happens after death.
If you believe you go to heaven, and the other doesn't, wouldn't
that be depressing for the one that believes in heaven, to go there
without their loved one? Or vise versa.

Or maybe the other wants to go to hell >.> :eek:

It`s not so much believing in going to heaven or not - it`s how they differ in thinking of what they have to do in order to get into heaven or the like. If one believes that you have to do something which the other believes you should never do... Obviously, problems are going to arise.

So you'd have me choose between my faith and my heart. It's a choice I don't know I can make.

???? Why not the other way? That's such a selfish way to think!

Anyway, Nyororin is right. I think most relationships won't have that much of a problem until children get involved.

It's not a problem when we're talking about dating. Because religion shouldn't matter at that part.

When it comes to marriage and having children is where the problems start. I don't want to have to raise a kid, and have my religious wife, try and make him religious, while I'm on the other side, trying to make him use his own mind to make his own choice.

It'll cause confusion, and alot of problems.

As for converting for the "People you love". Whatever happened to accepting your partners for what you see as their flaws?
