Our DD will be baptised into the Roman Catholic church, and educated in RC schools like her father. This was decided before she was even born, as DH's family is from Rodrigues and their faith is synonymous with their cultural identity so I would like my DD to have a strong understanding of her creole and RC roots.
I am baptised into the Church of England, but pretty blase about practicing my faith. But I will always have very fond recollections of our rag-tag family donning their Sunday best and heading off to our nice old stone church to pray the old book of common prayer and pray for the Queen! LOL.
It was nice to do something rich in tradition and in summary it's always been there for me when I've needed it.
I don't think there is anything wrong with choosing DD's faith....but our household is not a myopic one. DH and I have grown up with such a diverse range of races and religions so it's never really been a huge issue what we think vs. what someone else thinks.
As long as you're not outwardly ranting like a nasty intolerant bigot, whatever rocks your boat. No?
