My dad is a anglican protestant who absolutly hates and dispises catholics and my mother is a catholic.
They argued constantly over what faith to pass on onto me and my brother. My mother use to take me to church and my dad would be outraged and they would constantly fight over the subject.
In the end I guess they simply decided that I should decide myself. I have expirienced some religious (catholic) abuse in my life, but my parents constant arguing over what faith is the right one is certainly an adding factor to why I am not religious. In the end, it is the fighting between my parents which I remember most and which had the bigger impact on my decision and not the fact that I was given the chance to decide myself. So I am sure there are better ways to show a child the surrounding diversity.
One other thing that was passed on to me is that I also dont think to much of catholics.
