there are some advice on this thread.

i really like what my parents did when i was growing up.

they're hindu and hindu-ism is very loosely constructed. so, belief varies from region to region / family to family.

i remember asking them why our god was the right one and why jesus was not.

my mom always said that all the different religions lead to the same one and that it's all different pathways to the central god.

so, i was brought up in a tolerant atmosphere.

i think that this is what led to me being an atheistic hindu now (which i like being).

anyway, enough about me.

try to bring your children as agnostically as possible, exposing them to the different faith's and not denying any completly. dont give too much emphasis on one religion.

maybe tell them that all religions lead to one "god" ?

i'm actually lookin forward to doing this with my kids (when and if i have any)
