Put another way, how important is it for you, if you are second timer, to find a companion of the same religious background, is it a dealbreaker or not?
What percentage of LDS find it to be a dealbreaker? I imagine a higher percentage than those not belonging to the Mormon tradition.

Depends in part on how the first time ended (i.e., divorce vs. death). Which is a very interesting concept in itself - how important it is to marry in the temple at least once.
But I think the bigger question is how compatible are you with someone of a different religion. We've got so many idiosyncrasies as Mormons that something's going to give, isn't it? I had a hard enough time with a wife who was a "less active" LDS. Of course that leads to the question of pre-marital expectations, as she was active at the time we got married.
I agree that a high percentage of LDS would find it a dealbreaker, because of the doctrine of celestial marriage.
