Re: Couples with differing views on religion

I think indoctrinating children into organized Christianity does a great deal more harm than good, and I wouldn't marry someone who wanted to raise our children in an organized religion. It is that big a deal to me.

Maybe if they take them to the Jesus Camp types of church. There are actually Christians who preach love and understanding in this world (though they are obviously not as prominent as the nutty Christians).
I went to Church every Sunday as a kid, and I think it did a world of good for me. I learnt a lot about morality, compassion, forgiveness etc there and I think it was beneficial. At about 13 I stopped going because I thought it was crap, and my parents were fine with this (a little disappointed but fine) and respected my choice. If religion is taught to children in an open-minded way I think it enormously beneficial to their development as good human beings.
