No.

My parents grew up in the 1950s and were from Catholic (Dad) and Protestant (Mum) families. Growing up, we occasionally went to their family's churches for weddings or funerals, but weren't made (or encouraged, really) to follow a particular faith. I'd consider myself more agnostic than atheist as an adult, religion doesn't play a part in my life (though I have many close friends who are strong in their faith). My husband was raised Lutheran but is very much an athiest these days. Our children are raised without religion, but if they choose to follow a faith as they get older then we are fully supportive, as they'll have made the decision.
