Read this funny article that confirms stereotypes of domineering Jewish mothers. This woman tells the man on their first date their kids will be raised Jewish. I know most of you all don't really care or have any religious orientation, but I feel in a household the man should have a say in his children's upbringing.
Over here at the Lutheran/Orthodox boundary which one the kids go in follows the mother. Men don't care much about religion, being deep into it is for women and for faggots (our priests can marry but the profession still attracts tons of gays). It has always been the women that drag the men to church where you get told what colours to wear on which day of Easter and so on. Who cares about this stuff? Women and gay men.
A man insisting on religion sounds as 100 % queer to me as a man insisting that he should be the one to decorate the family home and the one to colour coordinate the children's clothing. Religion is a feminine responsibility in the family and a man just goes along with whatever the woman decides because a man innately realizes that spending energy on worrying about which clothes to wear on which day is totally useless bullshit.
All of the above holds true if you're an atheist or agnostic. Otherwise, the idea that religion is inherently feminine is absurd. American churches have become feminized in recent decades, but all major religions were founded and run by men, as indeed all major organizations and movements are.
Why should you go along with what the woman wants? Any feminine compliant wife will happily obey her husbands wishes when it comes to issues like this. And yes, any decent woman will clear even bullshit like interior decorating with her man too.
