If you have an affinity to your religion and want your kids to also, I think it’s important that religion is timely and connected to people’s lives and families. Interesting activities, trips, bringing in current events as it relates to beliefs. That kind of thing. I don’t know if the decline has anything to do with this - religion being not interesting - or as Charles said, it’s just perception.

I wanted to post the Atheist Song on my Facebook page, but my godparents have been posting religious stuff, and I was afraid they would be offended, so I emailed it to my siblings instead. (Godparents in the Catholic tradition are responsible, along with parents, for one’s religious upbringing.)
