I
grew
up
Catholic
and
my
husband
Mormon.
We
both
dumped
our
religions
in
favor
of
Buddhism,
which
is
more
in
line
with
our
personal
beliefs
on
spirituality
and
the
treatment
of
others.
My
family
was
fine
with
it
and
his
tolerates
it.
I
find
myself
reminding
his
mother
of
her
boundaries
when
she
attempts
to
influence
my
children
with
her
beliefs...on
issues
such
as
gay
marriage
or
heaven
or
global
warming.
I
don't
stand
for
it.
We
are
raising
our
children
to
be
stewards
of
the
environment
and
practitioners
of
the
Golden
Rule.
One
of
these
days
they
might
choose
a
religion
other
than
Buddhism
and
I
will
respect
their
wishes
in
much
the
same
way
as
my
family
respects
mine.

My
husband
was
raised
Baptist,
I
think,
but
he's
non-practicing.
I'm
a
Zoroastrian,
which
is
a
tiny,
ancient,
monotheistic
religion
with
roots
in
Persia
that
requires
you
be
born
into
it
(right
now,
conversion
is
not
allowed.
Actually,
marrying
outside
of
the
religion
isn't
allowed
by
its
most
conservative
members,
either,
but
hey,
you
fall
in
love
with
the
person
you
fall
in
love
with).
So,
my
faith
doesn't
affect
our
family,
really.
When
my
mother,
who
is
also
Zoroastrian,
and
my
father,
who
is
Roman
Catholic,
got
married,
they
felt
that
as
long
as
their
basic
ideals,
morals,
and
values
were
the
same,
the
fact
of
their
different
religions
didn't
really
matter,
and
my
husband
and
I
(and
my
brothers
and
their
spouses)
have
found
that
to
be
the
case
for
us
as
well.
As for what we're raising the kids to believe... my hope is that we continue to raise them to be good people, with strong morals and values, and hope that it's good enough for God if it's not good enough for either of our religious communities!

My
husband
is
catholic
and
I
am
baptist.
I
was
very
concerned
when
we
decided
to
raise
the
children
catholic
that
this
would
create
a
huge
debate
on
my
side
of
the
family.
I
was
shocked
that
everyone
was
very
understanding.
My
Grandmother
was
my
biggest
concern.
She
told
me
she
did
not
care
what
religion
they
were
raised
as
long
as
they
attended
church.
My family was pretty much lost when it came to baptism and oldest son's second communion. By the time the youngest goes through it all they will be pros. |
