My roommates (who are married) are having a terrible time deciding what to do about religion if they have kids. The husband wants to expose their kids to all religions (an impossible feat) so that they can choose which one, if any, they like. The wife is more conflicted about whether to raise them Catholic or without any religion at all. Both of them were raised Catholic and her family is majorly Catholic. However, he is atheist and she's agnostic, so while part of her wants to raise her kids Catholic, she's concerned about raising them to beliefs that neither she nor her husband believe in.

My boyfriend and I are much less concerned. I'm what he describes as a "deist," though quite open-minded, thank you. (To clarify, I was raised Christian, sorta. No church or anything. I believe in God. I also believe in evolution. I'm incredibly torn on whether or not to believe in Jesus.) He's Jewish, very very liberal Jewish. He wants to raise our kids Jewish and since I don't really care one way or the other, I'm cool with that. The only thing I insist on is that we still celebrate Christmas (which, since I don't do the church thing, he's also cool with); his only sticking point about Christmas is that we not let our kids believe their gifts came from a fictional character (Santa), the gifts came from Mom and Dad.
