Just curious, what was your religious/non-religious upbringing and how are you raising the kidlettes?
With the posts about Easter I just realized that, while raised Roman Catholic, we never went to church on the major holidays. We went to church on Sundays and did religious instruction until our Confirmations. Once I (the youngest) completed that sacrament, we stopped attending church. My mother had a bad experience (she was told she was a sinner bc she used birth control) and got a real "bad taste" in her mouth about the RC church (I think that was the proverbial last straw for her). Though we still carried a belief in God we no longer participated in church activities. I have a bend towards Buddhism now. My husband was raised Lutheran but is not overly religious. We have not begun talking about any form of belief system with Sophia. Though I am open to giving her some form of structured religion, we have not even baptized her yet. (Yes, I have Catholic guilt about that. haha)
Re: Religousness? GTKY
DH claims he is Roman Catholic but has been to church less than 5 times in his entire life (they went on Christmas Eve or Easter) and never made any of his sacraments. He doesn't actively practice anything.
DS was never baptized and we have no plans to teach any religion to him. When he gets older he can decide for himself.

Dh was raised baptist in a very religious home.
We have tried to have a Christian marriage and family we pray with our children and go to church most Sundays. We try to model our faith and like was said show them why we love and trust Jesus we will not force it on them but I honestly feel if you have the gospel presented to you and truly modeled to you it finds it way into your heart.
