I think it is now cause God is a huge part of my life.
I think it is important to have similar religious beliefs, and agree on how the children will be raised. If an organized religion enables that, then I think that's a good thing. But, it really varies with each couple.
I believe shared morals are important not religion
Not
it is very important, we are Catholic
Very important. To be a Christian, especially a catholic is to live and follow a lifestyle that is counter cultural. Regarding marriage, people give up when things aren't going well. Unhappiness leads to just starting over and not examining why you are unhappy. Married people don't even respect other people's marriages. This is not what marriage is supposed to be like. Even a single person has no right getting involved with a married person, even if that married person is unhappy.

Not important
Love is my religion. Kindness my scripture. One day I looked down at my hands and realized I am a sophisticated animal trying to give purpose to an evolution of consciousness. . I always envied others who so easily believed and felt morally deficient searching for god in books. People. And in workshops. Realizing god is a concept of comfort that has a variety of mental frequencies. Some have a more genetic predisposition for god them others. .
I'm against war so organized religion has no part in my life.
depends on the couple, but in our marriage it's completely irrelevant.
I don't believe "religion" is important, I believe God is important.
Not at all.
Very important--number 1
I don't believe it's important but I do believe that spirituality is important. Being a humbug do-nothing atheist who believes that religion is some harmful drug is just as bad as teaching children that the holocaust didn't happen. You don't have to like it, but religion and all that come of it spread more viewpoints and advanced our culture more quickly than anything else. For a couple I believe it's mostly choice as long as it doesn't contradict. A Satanist and a Buddhist would be awkward!
I would say not at all but I've been on both sides of the spectrum and feel sharing similar faith matters a great deal; especially when making life long decisions and/or raising children
