Should raising a child without a religion, even raise an issue?

For me the answer is a simple no. But for many it seems we cannot let go of our church going roots in 2013 Ireland. When there are now so many diverse nationalitites, why do we feel so obliged to keep to a belief system that has wronged so many children of this countries past? But still, choosing to raise your child without religion, can cause a stir a from a person who has not been inside a chruch in years, to cast a stone of deep concern. Its baffling to me.
I am not against anyones beliefs, but I am against the catholic church in Ireland today,  having any influence on our childrens education system. They, in my opinion do not contribute to a childs ever growing mind. There are children in this country who, because they have not been christened will find it hard to get into a school. A fact. We have chosen not to christen our son. Because even though I was born a catholic, that is where it stops for me. And what does that mean for the way my son will live his life? Well, it wont mean anything at all. He will not lose out. He will not be excluded from anything, he will not be judged, he will not go to hell.
This, is why I am fully behind Irelands Educate Together schools. These schools are a non judgemental breath of fresh air in 2013 Ireland and I am so excited to be aiming to send my son there when he is of age. I would never judge any of his future friends, or friends parents for having a religion. So all I want in return, is for nobody to judge him, because he does not have one.
