Yeah, that's understandable. Though it makes me wonder, what was it about his family that made you feel confused, or uncomfortable? Could they be accepting of your non-religious background? This is my question of interfaith marriages (or faith/non-faith). It seems that many people end up switching over to whatever system their spouse is on... either religious or not, etc. Is this mostly for the kids? Are there any examples of TFP'ers who maintain distinctive belief systems, apart from their spouses? What do you tell your children, as they grow up?
