My husband (30M) and I (28F) have been married for 5 years and have a 1 year old daughter. I was brought up Catholic and I still have faith and believe in God but I don’t go to church or do anything religious. My husband never really grew up on any religion and now considers himself non religious/atheist and does not believe in God at all. To him, he just wants us to raise kids who have good morals and are good people, which I do agree with. We did speak before having our daughter about what we would do and agreed baptism was the only catholic thing we would do since it was important to me, but we would both speak about what we both believe in and they can come to their own decision on whatever religion they want to have, if any, when they’re older. My question is, because we have two very different views, has anyone been in this situation and how did you express it to your child without it being confusing? Of course she’s too young now to ask, but I am just thinking when she is of the age to ask about it.

tl;dr: I am catholic but not really religious at all and he doesn’t believe in god and considers himself non religious, how do we express both our beliefs to our daughter when she’s of the age to ask? Also just generally looking to see if anyone has been in this situation before.
