Normally father's religion, but it may be mother's if child is brought up as person of that religion.

Not at all

3. will church allow such a marriage?.

Yes

1. thank you all for replying it was very helpful

2. one more thing if you all can help me with . Does baptism ceremony and issuing of a certificate by church stating me baptised holds any legal significance ?????

3. ofcourse i will not be wanting to persue the releigion further ,it will be only for the sake of church wedding.
