When couples disagree about religious education for their children

My wife and I both grew up Christian but we've each drifted in different directions over the years and now our 8-year-old is asking questions about God and death and we realize we have no idea what we actually believe or how to teach her something that feels honest. Every time we try to talk about what kind of religious education to give her, we end up revealing how far apart we've grown spiritually and it scares us.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Two people who shared a faith foundation discover they've evolved in different spiritual directions when faced with teaching their child.
