I suppose you could say we do, as we don't actively try to teach our children
any particular religion. IMHO, if there are requirements for the kids (Sunday
school, attending services, reading time) and the kids can't truly say No
without some sort of repercussions (anything from negative comments,
disapproving attitudes to punishment) then it's not really Unschooling
religion.

We recently went through some issues since my son has spent the majority of
his life living with his dad. That family has made some pretty drastic
changes in their religious life in the past few years and it was a religion I
am extremely uncomfortable with. As a Parent Who Trusts, I have had to accept
this part of my son's life, allow him to be who he is. I can't MAKE him do
things my way, and I need to support him in his needs and wants.
Nobody said Unschooling was easy.
