Teaching religion/theology to children

[MrBishop]

OK...so there are many different types of people on here; there are a few religious types, a few agnostics and a few athiests. Some of us have kids which it is our joy and our duty to teach them and give them as many mental tools to survive and thrive today and in the future.

Regardless of how you feel about religion in YOUR life, would you consider educating your children (or allowing them to be educated) in religion/theology in order to form a frame of reference for them?

That is...if your child does not have a religious/theological/comparitive education, do you feel that they can still have a full understanding of certain daily occurences. (ie Someone saying bless you after a sneeze, the whole christmas/easter/ramadan/ sabbath etc...), why certain clothes are worn by certain people, humour which touches on the subject of religion, arguments based on/against religion, what the cross means, what people mean when they mention "Thou shalt not kill" etc etc...

If they don't have this knowledge...would they still get it? Would they be able to have a full understaing of the depth of conversation?

Basically...do you plan on giving your child (hypothetical child if you don't have one) some sort of theological/religious education if only as yet another frame of reference? Why?
