[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I met a man this evening at a kids’ sporting event who said, “I left religion 3 years ago.  Gave all that stuff up.” It was stated—not dismissively or antagonistically—in response to another parent mentioning that their kid (who has a mutual interest with this guy’s kid) has found an event relating to the specific interest at a church, so not totally off-topic.  Another parent asked what he meant and he said hat he had been raised LDS and just realized that it didn’t fit his views anymore.  [b]But, he’s been married for 20+ years and has teenaged kids. If he left his church only 3 years ago, he did so with his nuclear family who had presumable well-formed thoughts on the religion[/b].  Anyway, this  isn’t the kind of question you ask a casual acquaintance and I am not religious so therefore not really equipped to discuss matters of faith.  Have any of you left your churches since you’ve had spouses and kids?  Was it a decision that you made together?  Did your kids have a voice in the discussion?

This isn’t a safe assumption at all. Many families have different belief systems within the family unit. Just because Dad leaves doesn’t mean everyone else is compelled to as well. [/quote]
