I've been in that kind of situation before both as child and as a parent. My parents were from slightly different religious backgrounds with one side of the family being mostly baptist and the other side mostly catholic or orthodox. Me and my sister alternatively went to different churches when we were little but didn't really belong to any since we didn't go regularly. Our parents didn't make us go and I quit going when I was about 10 because none of it made any sense to me. I still don't belong to any religion but my son has started going to AWANA meetings every Sunday with my nephew. As long as both you and your wife explain about your separate ways to your children and agree to let them decide on their own, it there shouldn't be any problems. Doubt I'm much help, though. I usually avoid religious discusion like the plague!
