[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You could teach your children about your religions and other religions and that some people have no religion.  When they get older, they can choose for themselves.

A lot of people make their own choice as adults anyway.  Your children will have more to go on[/quote]

This is exactly what we do. We celebrate all holidays, and respect spouse's religion and traditions. Ultimately, our child may choose one religion, the other religion, no religion, or a totally different faith tradition. It is up to her.

We belong to the Interfaith Families Project and she attends Sunday School there. That has been a great community. [/quote]

Glad to hear it's working out.  Some people feel so strongly that their own religion is the "true" religion that they couldn't pull off what your family is doing.  As long as both of you really don't mind if your child takes a different path as an adult, this should work out fine - and your child will be better off for being exposed to multiple views of religion.  Most kids learn in depth only about one religion and that the others are wrong, but should be respected.[/quote]
