Religion is a topic I've discussed countless times with friends and family, even though we each belong to different ideologies or religions.
The final conclusion: they all have their uses, they all teach, they are all important at certain times in our lives, BUT we shouldn't bind ourselves to them, and even less so, follow other "masters" who claim they can offer us liberation if we "obey" them or the rules of their religion.
In my personal opinion and experience, raise your children in all religions, and above all, make it clear that they have complete freedom to choose what best suits them at that moment. Perhaps, in the future, they will change to another religion, or become atheists, agnostics, or create their own religion (which is what I've tried to do).
I should mention that I am baptized and have received communion in the Catholic faith, but from age 12 to 29 I was agnostic (or so I thought). Then I discovered that the spiritual world is truly the religion I can most perceive in my daily life, and that religions are life manuals that have worked at certain times in human existence, for certain individuals, but they don't necessarily have to work for me, although they do offer great teachings.
You should never cling to an idea, since it can change, just as we change every second of our lives. The End.
