I agree with Bill O'rights. Regardless of whether they continue in formal education, I think it is best if you raise your children to question things. I am in a situation where my wife is religious and I am not. I am still happy for her to take our son to church with her (he is only 18 months old) and I can see this will most likely lead to sunday school when he is older.
I plan to make no secret of where my thoughts lie and that his mother and I disagree - I'm hoping this will help him to question what he is told and not necessarily take everything told by an older person as "truth". We have chosen at this stage to not get him christened, as I would feel hypocritical doing it. There are a few people at the local church that know how I'm thinking and (so far) it hasn't really affected my relationship with those people.
I guess the other point is that seeing that people have different views may also teach him to be tolerant of views that differ from his.
