I have two young children that still do not know you cannot share your whole life with everyone.  Problem is how would people treat them if they find out they do not come for a traditional Christian upbringing.  My best friend in School was a Catholic and she wasn't always treated very well, and it's not like Catholicism as a minority religion like wicca.  Will they crucify our children because they are different.

as a result I have not yet told them what religion i am following.  Is there any one out there with the same problem?

Hi Mantis1,

A lot has changed for us since my wife posted that message, (The Page Master is the sites Moderator Persona), although we still don't openly share our religious believes with others, we don't exactly hide it either, starting Dragons Den has in a way forced us to be more open to others and with our children, my daughter (8) now actively partakes in full moon celebrations etc, and my son (6) loves joining in the drumming during celebrations (and they love the idea of having “Christmas” twice a year).

We don't force our believes on them and will always allow them to make their own decisions, as for how they will be treated at school because of our beliefs, we’ve found that the other children don't much care about such silly things and when it comes to the grownups, well we handle the occasional attempts at conversion with mirth and understanding.
