My crush and I are both very intellectual types. We both have some fairly firm religious beliefs, but we're both pretty open minded.

Is discussing religion good for our relationship, or is it opening pandora's box?
 
there are many variables involved here that only you and your "interest" are aware of so that is a difficult question to answer...religion can be a sticky topic for discussion, but if, as you say, you are both intelligent and open-minded then i would think you should be fine talking about it...and if this person is someone that you could see spending your life with based on what you do know about them so far, then you should want to know where they "stand" spiritually, and you should definitely bring it up in conversation...good luck to you.
 
Yes. If you're close to a person... and plan to get closer, you should be able to talk about religion.
 
So long as you stand by what you believe in.
I've talked to a guy I liked about religion before, I'm an atheist and he's a buddhist so it didn't eactly go pear shaped, except for the fact a friend joined in and she's a Christian, and he told her she's going to come back as a maggot /:
 
You should talk about whatever you want with him. If it is a bad topic then just switch the subject. I don't see anything wrong with it but it is up to you and him though not us.
 
it could turn into a great conversation or it could turn into the worst thing ever. depends on what type of people you are
 
personally, I think its a great question to ask. because if you get married, you'll have to address it when holidays come around. rather know now where you both stand instead of if/when its too late.
 
It is good to discuss it, as long as you can be civil. Personally, I think that it is good for a couple to have somewhat the same ideals with religion. It may not seem too important now, but it might become more important in your life.
 
I usually don't like getting into public discussion on those types of issues, but one-on-one is great. Very good way to get to know someone and keep the conversation interesting. You may be opening Pandora's box, but as long as your both mature adults, it should be OK.
