With Christian dating the one Scripture that comes to mind is  2 Corinthians 6:14-15: “Do not be yoked together with unbelievers. For what do righteousness and wickedness have in common? Or what fellowship can light have with darkness: What harmony is there between Christ and Belial? What does a believer have in common with an unbeliever?” (NIV)  It is clear that Christians need to be equally yoked, but not only in their faith.
