I was raised in the religion I follow and have no problem with this. I was given the opportunity to look into other religions, which I did, however had no wish to convert to any. I have heard that some pagans feel that to raise their children in their religion is against their free will. I would not agree and say that as long as children have the chance to study other religions, if they so choose, then there is no wrong in teaching them of your religion. Religion would not survive effectively if it were not handed down, I know my ancestors did so or my family would not follow the religion we do. Perhaps it is a modern or neo-pagan view not to raise your children this way. I think religion is important in family life and is a great source of strength for a family unit. I understand not all pagans were raised this way, but wish to know what you think? Regardless of whether you were raised in the religion you follow or not.
