I have found our fson's change in religious thought very interesting. When he moved in, he wanted to say a prayer over dinner every night "in Jesus' name". We let him but did not participate. When he asked, we said that we did not believe in Jesus and therefore could not say the prayer with him. We started saying a Hebrew prayer (Blessed are you, God, Ruler of the Universe who has given us bread of the earth). Over time, he started saying it too.
We also took him to the synagogue with us on Friday nights but sent him to the play room. He LOVES going. He was upset each week if we did not go. Now he is very anti-Christian. "We don't believe that". He is far more spiritual than I am, and asks very interesting and difficult questions about religion and God. It has been quite a journey.
