So you want them to spend time that they could have been learning useful things on religion, and then spend more of your own time teaching them to ignore half of the stuff the learned in those religious classes? That doesn't make much sense.

I've been through many extreme hardships as a child/teen/adult and I believe my unwavering, unique, personal faith and mental resiliency was a result of the values I learned not just in Catholic religion alone. My spirituality is a combination of positive aspects of many different religions/beliefs that I have participated in as well as Universal Truths. I choose to expose my children to all of them. When they are able to make the choices for themselves, they are free and able to.
My choices on how to raise my children and why don't have to make sense to you or anyone outside my immediate familial unit. It only needs to make sense to my partner, which it does.
