I am a Christian and recently my DH has become one too. We take the kids to church most Sundays, and my youngest three children go to bible playgroup once a week as well as Sunday school. My eldest has religious education at school, which at present is Christian based only. TBH I would like it if he was taught about other religions as well, and if they kids choose to be baptised when they are older I will be over the moon, but the decision is theirs.
We are Christian too and the children have grown up with Sunday School, from a young age I have read their childrens Bible and other various books. They also have RI at school.
Although I'm not religious DS wouldn't have a hope of getting religion! He is far too literal. I was discussing this with some other mums with Aspergers kids - one is very religious but her poor son just trembles if you tell him Jesus is in his heart, God is all around etc. He can't comprehend it and completely freaks out.
I just tell my DS "this is what some people believe" when he asks questions. We can go further with it later.
