SpaceTime!!!Just like any other thing in your son's life, you have a certain amount of influence which wanes as he gets older. You can only hope to live your example of skepticism and inquisitiveness and hope it rubs off.
There are still some wonderful benefits of church--namely the community--that you can still reap. If you are a cultural Christian while not believing in the dogma or the divinity crap, I would argue you are right in line with a good chunk of Christians in America today, whether they'd like to admit it or not. You can see it in their eye when you talk about Noah's Ark or Jesus' miracles. It's the only thing I know of where a person is proud to act dumber than they are.
Go with the flow until the cognitive dissonance get to be too much, or the other side of the coin, if you go back to the comfort of it. Hopefully by that time your sons are old enough that you're not ruining anything for them.
And shame on your parents for making your son cry.
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great
