Do you think "cross-family conversions" are OK?

[Alben Barkley]

Bizarre question. Anyone has the right in this country to practice whatever religious beliefs they want (unless those beliefs violate the rights of others, like death cults and certain extremist Islamist groups) for whatever reason they want. We don't have apostasy laws here. And it would be far more wrong morally in my opinion for parents to disown a kid for changing religions than for the kid to change religions in the first place. The latter is not wrong at all. I was raised evangelical, am agnostic, if I became Catholic or even Jewish or whatever now it's none of my parents' concern. Faith is a deeply personal thing. There are obviously social elements to religion as well, and it's not surprising that many people convert to their spouse's faith (especially if it's more important to the spouse than themselves). But again, whatever the reason, it doesn't matter. Freedom of religion is one of the first rights enshrined in the US Constitution for a reason.
