They always said I could believe whatever I wanted; they just wanted me to think carefully about anything I learned from religious people, and they did send me to boarding school that had chapel 5 times a week (it was the best one close by- and it was liberal Episcopalian). But they have since admitted that they were lying about it being OK if we got religion- it would have been heartbreaking to them. Some babysitter taught my niece to pray before a meal, and my sister thinks it's funny, and she and my mother had a spat about it because my mother won't have it at her dinner table.
My grandfather was NOT open-minded AT ALL about religion. From the time I was very small he told me to run away if anyone approached me in the name of Jesus.
