}Actually, I'll raise them without the "benefit" of religion.  I mentioned
}Christian because the poster who started this thread jokingly complained
}that she was surrounded by Christians, but the same goes for most religions.
}I *might* consider raising them Jewish if I was marrying someone Jewish and
}she felt strongly about it, but I wouldn prefer to raise them without any.

Be prepared for failure, though.  Recently I've read about an interesting
hypothesis that religious belief and behavior are biological traits of humans.
They're not necessarily adaptive but could be side-effects of our neoteny
and carnivory.
