I don't think more than 2 weeks have gone since I've been capable of memory that I haven't been to church. It was non-negotiable to my parents and it was non-negotiable to me. It'll be the same way with my kids, and I don't apologize for it.
Multiculturalism needn't be relativism, despite the heavy relativistic connotation than the word has acquired. I can have complete respect the right for people to worship or not worship as they choose while still holding the belief that, while their faiths do contain facets of goodness and truth, mine is the only one that has them all. If I believed everyone was right, I certainly wouldn't choose a belief system that required any effort on my part.
In holding true with my own belief system, it would be a grave sin of omission for me to fail to properly instruct my children in the faith. They'll obviously be free to make their own decisions once they reach adulthood, but I'm going to teach them what I believe to be truth as truth.
