I was raised Greek Orthodox and my husband Baptist and both of us have decided not to introduce religion into our son's life, at least not for now. But I enjoyed attending a Chanukah celebration last week and talking to him about religion, if he asks. It does seem similar to me to a lot of things kids will be exposed to that parents may not "approve of" -- expose them and talk about it as a family and what values the family has chosen to espouse and why. Then see what the child ends up deciding for him/herself! Great post, Julie!
