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?

His family, especially his mom was so open-minded about the whole thing. They did not care that I was not Catholic. In fact, his mom would ask me questions about being Jewish that I could not answer. That was when I realized that I could not call myself Jewish just because my parents were/are. If I had more of a religious upbringing, I might not have converted. I started on this journey because of my daughter.
