Default Re: Couples with differing views on religion

Seems like it would make more sense to give them the option to go instead of the option to leave. If they're truly going to be spiritual/religious (which is fine), I'd rather it be because they decided to be, not because that's what they were taught.

This sounds backwards to me. If you grow up with understanding of a religion, you can decide it isn't for you later. On the other hand, if you don't learn about it, there is pretty much no chance of then finding religion later.

Think about all the people you know who were raised with religion and left it as they got older. Now try to name one who did the opposite.

There's a really, really good reason why most people who aren't raised religious will never decide on their own to be religious. Finding Jesus (or religious figure of choice) is really, really hard.
