I think so, too... I just have no idea how to go about doing it yet, though my husband was raised without religion and he seems to do just fine.
I just don't have an example for myself.

That's definitely understandable... I guess that's what parenting the teen years is all about, eh... watching and waiting to see whether the values instilled in the kids actually "sticks" or if they end up going wild (or going religious, like I did... wild in a different way, heh). Let us know how it goes!!
