Nobody can tell you what to do ultimately. I would say however, long term, if it became serious and you got married, and had kids, you'd have to go into that knowing the ground rules and agreeing to them.
Even outside the issue of religion, not discussing long term plans when you get serious can cause problems. As much as I loved my x wife, the truth is we never should have gotten married. She had a completely different view of what she wanted for the future. I do consider myself lucky in that we never had kids. She is back in Japan, and that would have been really hard on both of us.
Nothing wrong with love, or even diversity in a relationship, but you DO have to be pragmatic in considering the long term implications. Don't confuse hormones for love. Merely finding someone attractive isn't enough.
