How do you teach your children about religion?

Prayingchild What kind of religious education do you give your children? Religious school? Church every Sunday? Synagogue every Saturday? Or is religion not important at all to you? I grew up going to Sunday school, er, religiously. But weekends are such precious downtime for the family we never make it to church.

The question is how do I go about educating my daughter about Christian values?

To talk about the issue of religious education for children, Alpha Mummy invited Ruth Gledhill, the Times religion correspondent and blogger on the Times' Articles of Faith for a "Two-Fer", a video chat on the subject. Watch our discussion below and post your thoughts on teaching kids about God, Allah, G-d, humanist ideas or the belief that there's nothing out there beyond our experiences.
