[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm surprised by the vitriol in the responses.  (Though the suggestion to secretly baptize is absurd.)

My own mother is extremely religious and devout.  She is also a kind and loving person, and wonderful grandparent.  I was raised in the church but no longer believe.  She believes that faith is important and a key to a fulfilling and meaningful life.  While I don't, I have observed how her religion has been good for her and those around her.

She worries about both me and my kids, not because she thinks we are "going to hell" but because her faith is a driving force in her life and she thinks we are missing out.  When my kids stay with her, I am certain she talks about her religion and she often takes them to events at my childhood church.

I am fine with it.  Exposure to *good* people of faith and *good* people who are not religious enables my kids to make their own decisions as they get older.[/quote]

"good people" is BS.

Every day in this country a Pastor, Minister, & or Priest molests, rapes, and grooms kids.  So great grandma takes the kids to see these "good people". 
Amazing parenting on your part. Not to mention what do you do when your kids come home with Grandma's teachings if you don't believe? Again amazing parenting.

These people are not "good people" just because they go to church that is absurd.

You sound really scared of life in general.  Keep sheltering you and your kids in your cocoon, it won't turn them into neurotic adults like you at all.  sarcasm [/quote]
