[Lord Starshadow]

Well, as a former Catholic, I'm not sure if I'm totally qualified to make an attempt at an answer. But, since you have asked for some advice, I think that I it would be wrong of me not to say something.

I think as long as you teach your kids the values of benevolence (helpfulness, kindness, and such), it doesn't matter what you do. I'd say that the best way would be to expose your kids to both sides of the issue (Christian and your own views), but that is difficult to do with younger ones. In my opinion, Christian teaching may not be a bad way to go for younger children. Children seem to pick up on the teachings and the general goodness from Christian teachings and such. I don't mean to say that you have to put them in a private school, but sunday school might not be a bad idea when they're young. Once they get older, you can let them make their own decisions on religion.

I went to a private school for my schooling all the way until I went off to college. It didn't get bad until high school, when I started to disagree with a lot of what I was being taught of religion. After, so many years of having Jesus and Catholic teaching thrusted unrelentlessly in my face, I got tired of it because it didn't fit into my own beliefs about the way things work. I found that learning about other religions helped me form my beliefs, and in the end, I think the best way to find your own religion is to research all the ones that you find until you find one that fits with you.

I hope that helped and didn't sound too much like a rant. I can discuss more of my thoughts and experiences if you'd like more.
