[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was raised by parents like this. My dad was agnostic and really not into attending anything religious himself but he saw the value in faith & community so he wanted his kids to have a chance at believing. He left the religious stuff up to my mom - she raised us in her religion and he was supportive in the sense that he attended major milestones for us, and didn't share his lack of faith unless pointedly asked for his thoughts on the matter.

I thought it was a reasonable approach. [/quote]

OP here -- We truly believe that the opposite of faith is not doubt, and have been very open in discussing this with our children.  And, actually, I'm not even sure that I'm most concerned about the childrearing part of this -- more that DS will feel alone in his faith not being able to share this very important part of his life with his partner.  But DS is happy; she's terrific and I'm praying for help in supporting them both.  I know that God will hold them in love.        [/quote]
