I suppose....
If someone was nominally a Christian, but was so liberal that they didn't take it very seriously at all, it could work. I think it's the worshipping, submission, and thinking morality can and should come from religion that would cause me big problems. Also the idea that people who are not part of the religion deserve lesser afterlives.
In the case of Christianity, there's the added problem of accepting vicarious redemption and the belief that we are inherently broken and in need of fixing. All of these things are fundamental differences I don't think I could overcome in a long term relationship.
