We raised our kids the same. Even allowing that they might want to go to church themselves. While I suggested it only once or twice they were not interested.
I think we all know what is right and wrong. And regarding death, none of us know anything at all.
Religion then might offer a sense of community and also solace for those times when there is nothing you can do but suffer. And for that I wish I could have found a religious community that I was comfortable with and could have shared with my children.
The closest I ever came was a Quaker Meeting my mother took my sibling and I too when we were young. Perhaps I should have tried harder to find another but it didn't seem as important as other aspects of raising children — finding as much time to do stuff with them, take them traveling, etc.
