[quote=Anonymous]OP here. I've considered the Episcopalian Church. I think it's important to question any religious belief system-- I couldn't see telling my DC NOT to question something and just "have faith," doing so seems against human nature and totalitarian. Strange, I come from very conservative parents who are against having a big government but who, based on what they say, would have no issue with the Catholic church telling everyone how to live and deciding who gets what from the government.

That said, it's a tough call for me. when asked what happens when we die, my answer is I don't know and I'm comfortable with that. How can I send DC to religious ed where they talk about heaven and then lie if he asks me what I think. DH isn't Christian and I'm not going to tell DC that DH is going someplace else because he isn't baptized. I feel like DC is just going to get confused if I can't get with the program. But, again, I'd like DC to have some sort of tie to Christianity and the holidays we celebrate (we will be celebrating easter and christmas with my parents) and decide when he's older how far he'd like to take it, if at all.
