We fully intend to raise our daughter secular, but I am unsure of how to handle social situations when she gets older: like if her friends are religious, or if she's excluded from social gatherings because of it.

Do you have children, and did you raise them Atheist? Did you run into any obstacles?

If you don't, what would you do? Religion, no religion, or expose them to everything and let them decide?

if you don't teach them both sides they never can choose or interact as they need to (avoiding land mines).  I teach my kids religion, the good parts and the bad parts.  They will get to decide and if they need false hope till they can walk on their own, so be it.
