[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hi, you are responding to my comment.  I am curious, if DH's values are aligned with your conservative values (even for a differing base reason) why do you think he'd go to a liberal congregation?

At any rate, although I am one of those liberal atheists and we don't go to any religious services, my kids come home with stuff that they've learned in the world.  God is great, and you have to be good to go to heaven, etc.  I try to use it as an opportunity to tell them how I feel about things and why.  Kids are exposed to SO MUCH - but if you believe in your values and live them, your kids will understand them.  They will develop their own values, maybe the same or similar or maybe not - but you can't be so afraid of different opinions that you try not expose them.[/quote]

OP here, you are correct, I am afraid, mostly of the unknown. I really know NOTHING about religion on a personal level. So it is more that I am thinking what on earth is DH getting my kids up to. 
Dh would go to a liberal congregation because he knows that 1. conservative congregations would require a commitment, and 2. he does not care about anything that much, anything that is easy. Sort of if he had to tick the box for a certain issue, he would, but not get up and protest or get involved. [/quote]
