For purposes of this discussion, we restrict our definition of religious belief as an idea or system of ideas that has a transcendental or numinous component. Religious beliefs cannot be inferred from empirical observation. We further define a religion as a community organized to maintain those beliefs, to affirm them, and to pursue actions that follow from them. Religious belief and action may be affirmed outside the context of a religion. Furthermore, the line between religious and other practice is blurred. This essay, however, will focus on parental religious beliefs that are normative in religions to which those parents belong.
