I too have heard that it's important to raise children under some sort of formal religion and, like Nancy, I am skeptical of this notion. I wonder if any one in TIPSland is aware of any empirical evidence that suggests a benefit (e.g., moral development) of raising children under some sort of religious umbrella.
 
Miguel (whose experiences with religion somewhat mirror Nancy's, except that I kept some 'eclectic' [?] spiritual beliefs).
