It wasn't because we opposed religion -- it was totally a matter of protecting parental prerogative.

ugh, I can already tell that's going to be a serious problem if we ever have kids. While my wife and I are perfectly fine respecting the beliefs of our relatives, they are not as considerate. They cannot stop trying to shove their faith in everyone's faces. Such a wonderful conflict to look forward to.
