This is only my second season watching this goofy show and I have a question: have they ever had a couple or contestant where faith or attending church as ever come into play? Seems like it's something that is important yet they certainly avoid the topic all together.
shareI believe Cortney and Jason are believers... I think she even said that they talked about it but it isn't shown on the show. She had an article posted on her instagram bio for a while that talked about their faith, but I don't think it's there anymore.
shareI would imagine religious beliefs and the importance of any beliefs is very likely one of the factors used to pair the couples. I think most seriously religious people would probably be pretty turned off at the whole idea of the show. Therefore the actual targeted audience would probably have little interest in such things. So its probably easier just to not mention religion at all.
shareI agree, religion should be one of the first things to be discussed in looking for a spouse. However, in this situation, I think perhaps religion isn't very important to any of them, or else he/she would have looked first to his/her church/ synagogue/ temple to find a spouse, not to a reality show, of all places.
They are all much younger than me, and in my "old age" I can say I have learned that I would never date or marry anyone outside of my religion (unless he was interested in converting). I was not very devout in my younger years, but still believed in God. My first marriage did not work out because he was someone with much different beliefs (an atheist, actually) and if I even mentioned that I wanted to go to church, he would shame me about it. I guess you could call it "Faith Shaming".
I can't see religion as playing a major part of this show, because this show obviously has no respect for marriage. It would be a constant clash that would actually deter the show in my opinion.
