It depends. If the person is not a devout follower, it really doesn't matters since that individual's religion is much more likely to be a family tradition than personal identity. But when both are faithful to their beliefs and have shaped their lives according to religious conduct, then the marriage won't be favorable. It hurts but that's reality. Love is grown on a base that is shared and agreed.

i would never be forced to marry some one i did not want to
a marriage of such type would not be a developing situation but one of constant conflict and difficult circumstances
such situations are not wise to seek to live in
constant disputes are not good in a marriage

How is it possible to be forced into marriage with somebody who's of a different religion than yourself? That is inconceivable. Same religion, certainly; different religion, no. That would be a decision made with the couple's consent.

Religion doesn't matter. As long as they're tolerant of me, I'd be cool. It's also pretty easy to fake practice a religion. Just pray to whoever in public, then worship normally when you're alone.

The whole point of arranged marriages is to choose a mate for someone who IS of the same group/religion/race/caste etc.

Nobody would force me to marry anybody.
Religion makes no difference to me, as long as there's respect and we wouldn't be trying to convert each other or force each other's opinions on one another.

Religion doesn't concern me, it's the being forced to marry against my will part that I wouldn't enjoy.

I would have to invoke the conversion option.
Just make sure the marriage includes the appropriate clauses, before say you do.
