Talk About Marriage - View Single Post - any suggestions on how to have an interfaith relationship?

I have a co-worker who is Jewish and has a son with a Christian. They don't plan on marrying but will together as if they were. They celebrate both religions holidays and when their son is old enough, he will probably choose which religion he prefers. Neither parent is particularly stern in their beliefs so that makes it easier on their son.

In my case, I am non-religious with a growing hatred of organized religion and my fiance is pretty laid back Catholic. If we were to have a child, he wants to send the kid to Catholic school, because of the positive experiences he had. I reluctantly agree to this situation, and I suppose it would be good for the child. My only issue is have is if the child accuses me of being "wrong." I guess that's something you have to deal with no matter what, though.
