Max is probably going to go to Catholic schools at least through the 5th grade. My wife's Catholic, and it's important to her. Me, not so much. She says that she knew she was going to marry me the night of our 4th date (I think) when I said that we could babtise the kids Catholic (she would have been happy with babtism at all) so long as they're raised Cubs fans.
It sounds like a joke, but it's not. She's a Sox fan, and I'll disown any of my kids that pull for them or the Cardinals. THAT'S more important to me than religion (or my substitution for religion).
Kids will be exposed to reglion from an early age (especially Catholicism in my part of the world). I think that it's important for them to know at least the basics so that they learn the background stories that are important in our culture. I don't want Max to be the kid that raises his hand in the 2nd grade and say "who's this Jesus guy that you just mentioned?"
