My husband and I are both from different faiths. Similar to you, I was raised Catholic, but am not practicing. My immediate family is not religious, but does believe in Jesus Christ, goes to church for Christmas and Easter. My husband was raised Jewish, but will tell you he is agnostic. His family is moderately religous and have approached me about converting more than once, which I have politely declined. We've decided to expose our daughter to a little bit of both religions (she's 2, so she can't sit/keep her attention for very long), but we have decided that she will be raised as agnostic, but we will still go to my husband's family gatherings for the Jewish Holidays, the Santa part of Christmas and the Easter Bunny. My immediately family doesn't seem to mind, they've never voiced an opinion. My husband's family is fairly annoying about having our daughter raised Jewish - comments about her going to a Jewish Daycare so she can get some religion, or "joking" about her Bat Mitzvah is 11 years. My daughter does have 2 cousins on my husband's side that is being raised similarly, so we are not alone in the comments.
