I know some folks who took their kids to a number of different places of worship throughout their childhoods. They would go to a Methodist church one week, a Buddhist temple the next week, a mosque the week after, etc. They gave them lots of reading on different religions and celebrated a number of different religious holidays, all just to expose their kids to as many religious ideas as possible. When the time came that a kid said "I don't want to go here, I want to go there" they'd accommodate that. I think this could get plenty complicated, but it seemed like a really neat way to allow kids to explore for themselves and find out where they fit in.
