No, quite the opposite. We never went to church or temple as children (mixed marriage). I considered joining one when I got pregnant with my first, but kept it in house instead.

It started with teaching my DS Greek mythology, then the Egyptian gods, then we landed on the Unnamed God, God. He comes up a lot in our house, routinely. We pray for friends, but not before meals or bed.

I teach them the social justice messages from the Bible. They also know that just because someone looks like they follow a religion, like wearing religious attired or talks about attending church, or celebrating a religious holiday, doesn't mean that they follow the good behavior as the religion guides them. We focus on the behavior and feelings, with occasional quotes thrown in to give it life.

FWIW, we weave Science and God together. He gave us this great Earth and look at how it evolved. Stuff like that.

I take comfort in the children having something larger than me to inform their moral behavior. We practice our faith by being good neighbors, gratitude, and compassion.[/quote]

That's quite nice, but OP didn't ask for stories like yours. [/quote]
