Honestly no. Faith is a really big deal to me. I need to be with someone who isn't just OK with my faith but whom actively supports me in it. I also knew that I wanted to raise my kids in the faith. I didn't want to be the mom struggling to get her kids to church while her husband is just OK with her trying but isn't actively working to get there and go with her too. . I think it's fair to say that you need to be with someone who shares your value system and my faith is my value system.
I think people who are OK with marrying people of another faith typically aren't terribly religious to begin with and faith isn't that big of a part of their lives. However, when faith is a huge part of someone's life that has and will continue to shape it in ways nothing else can then it's a big freaking deal that the person you're with shares your faith and values it to a level compatible to yourself.

If I were on the market again I would. Meaningful connection transcends religion.

I have been in relationships with Jews, agnostics, atheists, and A Jehovah's Witness. I would not date another JW and I would probably not date someone who is Muslim, Hindu or other non-Christian belief.

I definitely would not marry someone who was of a different religion, nor would I engage in activities that would likely result in marriage or pregnancy.

Not marry, but I'd have sex, definitely. Muslim men are filthy in bed. Must be all that sexual oppression 🤤

Yeah, as long as they aren't expecting/hoping for me to convert to their religion.

Depends totally on the religion. I have had some horrible experiences with Hindus, so I probably wouldn't marry a Hindu woman, but a Christian, Muslim or Jew would be perfectly fine.

Sex sure. Marry? Well, it creates havoc when it comes time to parent the children. That's the biggest consideration.

Depends on devotion. I am not really religious. I do believe in gods, but not organized prayer. If they don't force me into their religion I am fine with it.
