If you raise the children without religion, you make a choice for them. If you raise the children with religion, you make a choide for them.
But you're the parent,and it's something that you have to do. What is it about the religion that you like? Has it been good for you, is it the ethics, is it an important part of your family heritidge?
I was raised with lame attempts at episcopalianism; the fam didn't get to me soon enough and it never stuck. I think the option of spirituality of some sort is still available to me from MANY more places than I would have sought it if I had a church stuck on me.
I wonder, how difficult would it be to *give up* a religion if you found that it didn't suit you? Maybe it's easier to see the light than it is to shut it off and look for a new one.
