[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Values matter more than religion. By values, I mean is she kind, helpful, selfless, positive / glass half full, and any others that you think important. Those are not qualities of one religion vs. another.

Be 100% supportive or else it will severely impact your relationship with your child and their significant other.[/quote]

I do see how devastated parents can feel (and I agree it is the grandchild not being raised in the religion that hits them the hardest)- but there is literally nothing you can do. Having “grandchild who are my religion” is not a choice available to you. There are only two choices (1) be outwardly supportive and have a good relationship with son and his kids- who are not being raised in my faith or (2) create lots of drama and strife over it and NOT have a good relationship with your son and grandkids- who are still not being raised in your faith.

He will decide what he wants to do and you just don’t have any influence here other than how you react. [/quote]
Are we confusing being born into religion with being raised in religion?
I know one who was born Jewish, orthodox. Very religious family until parents divorced and after that neither parent cared. He married outside the religion, but had already lived most of his life outside the community. Religious people are judgemental

Atheists like you are judgmental about religious people.
