...you are married to, or are going to marry someone who holds the opposite religious point of view of yourself...

how do you compromise those beliefs with regard to raising your children? or do you at all? huh

I would never marry someone of different religious point of views than myself, that would be against my religion, and against myself.

I don't have a problem being exposed to a religion other than my own. Actually, I would prefer it! I think that if my husband were of an 'opposite' religion and activing participating in religious services, I would like to children to attend both. Of course, not in the same day, but be exposed to both. I personally feel that children should be exposed to religion, but when they are adults they can choose for themselves what they belief.

Most of the people that I know raise the children with the mother's religion.

Some religions such as islam require any children born under a marriage to be raised in them.

Forget TEACHING them any religion, bring them up on philosophy. When they get to studying ethics they will be exposed to all the various beliefs and then, only then, when they can make their own choice will they tell you, what they have CHOSEN to believe.

In the mean time you will have raised thoughtful, intellegent human beings, with far less bias than those who had little choice in the matter themselves.

By the time they are adults is already too late for most to make up their minds. They have already been indoctrinated and pretty much convinced. I think kids should not even be exposed to religion until they themselves can understand what they are being asked to swallow.

Lucky for me I never believed it even as a kid, but most kids just soak up what they are told and believe it with out question.

Bring them to two different churches? What we aren't twisted emotionally and mentally enough by one religion at a time? LOL

I always ask each person who shows me skepticism over another religions claims to take that same level of skepticism in regards to the claims of there religion.

This ends either in an illustration of cognitive dissonance, or in the removal of religiosity.
