My best friends (sisters) were raised without religion.
Their mother focused on having healthy relationships with extended family and neighbors. They built their own support community, which has worked out wonderfully for them. Seems like their mother focused on finding friends of different faiths for her daughters to interact with, including: Jain, Hindu, Mormon, Jewish, Lutheran, Unitarian, Baha'i...

As teenagers, both of the girls chose to attend services of one kind or another. One felt comfortable in a generic Christian community church, the other went the Unitarian route. The one that chose Christianity has since become disgusted by the backbiting and bigotry, no longer attends services, and decided that being in nature is all she really wants. The other still attends Unitarian services.

Both are intelligent, well-educated women with happy, balanced lives and a strong sense of personal morals.
