When I went to school, we had to do religion. In those days, religion was basically different types of christianity so I chose church of england.

My parents are buddhist but that wasnt an option in religion studies then.

Anyway, throughout my childhood, my parents never forced us to follow anything, although they encourged us to participate in their prayers, it wasn't forced.

My siblings and I even went to church when we were younger, my parents would drop us off and my brothers are christian.

I am a believer of both. Although this may be hard to comphrend to some, as I have had this reaction before, I believed Jesus existed and so did Buddha and they were extrodanary people that helped out those in need.

I hope to bring the same choices for dd. If she wanted to be a christian I will support her, if she wanted to be buddhist, muslim, I too will support her.

I hope I havent offended anyone in my mish mash of a post. I still keep in contact with my Sister of the church and also go to the temple a few times a year.
