My wife is religious (believes in God but not organized religion and comes from a religious family).
My wife does prayers with the kids. Takes them to church on occasion. Answers their questions about God. For my part, when asked, I am very clear that I do not believe there is a God. This stressed out my son when he was little as he didn't think I was going to be in heaven with the rest of them when we were all dead.
In the end, it will be up to him to decide which path he wants to take.
I simply see no need to immerse him in a school environment that would attempt to indoctrinate him.

We've already decided on a "regular" (public) school for her. Most of the private schools around here are affiliated with some religion or another so we've ruled all of those out. I just want a once-a-week thing for her at this point.
My apologies.

Thanks, Charlatan, I tried to clarify my meaning in a later post. Maybe I should add it to my original post.

Her father lives in town and is agnostic as far as I can tell. Her mother lives about 4 hours away and says she is religious but does not go to church.
My mother lives here and is atheist. My father lives about 4 hours away and is also atheist.
