1. What a superb answer to your aunt.

We did not take our sons, now 33 and 36, to any sort of organized religious services when they were growing up. At home, we talked a lot about wat it means to be a decent person, and what it must feel like to have people think negatively about you because of your skin color, country of origin, language spoken, etc, etc, etc.

I didn't publicize this approach very much, because if you tell people you don't take your kids to church, they look at you like you ought to be reported to Chid Protective Services.

After a while, I devised the term "home church." Lots of people home school their kids, so why couldn't I home church mine?
