My FI and I both have very close views about life/death/religion/etc.
I am an agnostic humanist and he is an atheism-leaning agnostic. We have long talks and share musings about everything concerning religion and otherwise, and things rarely get heated (part of agnosticism is the belief that an "answer" is close to impossible).

The general concensus is that relationships can become strained when a couple are far apart on important life decisions (how to raise children, what to do about money, etc), but I've seen incredibly diverse interfaith marriages succeed brilliantly. I haven't been close enough with couples to talk about it more, so that's why I'm asking here:
How does that work?
Radically different religions mean different views about who (or what) created the universe, what happens after you die (including who's going to heaven and who's not), and the fundemental building blocks of life.
How does a Muslim/Baptist, Buddhist/Hindu, Catholic/Jew relationship make it through issues reagrding the basics of life and death?
It seems like such a big deal, but maybe I'm overthinking it?
Even within same faiths, it seems like sects can be far enough apart to cause some problems (the literal interpretation of communion, etc)
