Sports commentator Joy Taylor has stirred conversation surrounding dating preferences, as she recently shared that she considers men who are “religious” to be red flag.
Taylor, 38, shared her take during a recent appearance on Paul Pierce and Azar Farideh’s podcast The Truth After Dark. During the conversation, Taylor shared that she is “less and less interested” in religious men after having experienced issues dating those who lead with their faith. She then addressed her own religious background, saying she is a “person of faith” and was raised in the Baptist church. However, she doesn’t consider herself religious and sees it as a “red flag” when seeking a partner.

“I don’t think that just because you’re a Christian that you are not living a good life,” she explained. “I’m just saying, if that’s the first thing that you bring to the table, it’s a red flag for me. Not saying that if you believe in God you’re a red flag. I also don’t give a f**k, so tell somebody else about it.”
Pierce then shares that religion helped him out of some “dark places” in his personal life, with Taylor then questioning if it was religion or faith.
“To me, those are two different things,” Taylor offered. “Believing in God, having spirituality, having a connection with your spiritual side, praying, all those things I do. But to lead with, like, ‘let’s go to church on Sunday?’” she added, putting her hand up in a “stop” gesture.
