Wanting to raise and teach my children multiple Religions?

Question

I ask that your answers not be rude, and please try not to push your own views, suggestions are fine though. Please and thank you.

Now I was raised Catholic. Funny joke is that my mother let me stay home from school during those holidays of Catholic/Christian holidays that the school gave excused absences for. Oddly not many actually took the day off, but that's okay.

Now on to my question. I was told that I would be able to choice my own religion to follow once I turned 18, so I waited. By that time came I stated that I was now Spiritual. I believe and respect all Religions, as long as they are safe and un-hurtful religions.

Now I don't go to Church myself because I pray my own way, I talk to God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit almost daily and thank the high power in my life for my life and such.
With this said I want my future children to learn what I believe in but I also want them to have similar up brining as myself. Including and very important is their Christening and first Communion as I feel that is right. Now like I did after my first Communion is to let them choice if they wish to continue on going to church or not which is what my mother did.

I'm also going to take my Husband's Religion play a part too, be it Jewish or Muslim, or if he's a scientist then that's fine too! And I meant Science like facts not Scientology though I respect it I wouldn't join it as well as a few other Religions as I will always remain Spiritual.

@Well, it is your choice, and everybody else.  Just give it a second thought.  Let say I am right and Jesus is the only way, would it not be sad to miss it?  I know the word "Christian" does not mean much anymore.  It is watered out, the doorstep is lowered so "anyone" can step in.  This is not real.  It is not what Jesus say.  Take the time to check out this few sayings.  Luke 13

The Narrow Door

22 Then Jesus went through the towns and villages, teaching as he made his way to Jerusalem. 23 Someone asked him, “Lord, are only a few people going to be saved?”

He said to them, 24 “Make every effort to enter through the narrow door, because many, I tell you, will try to enter and will not be able to. 25 Once the owner of the house gets up and closes the door, you will stand outside knocking and pleading, ‘Sir, open the door for us.’

“But he will answer, ‘I don’t know you or where you come from.’

26 “Then you will say, ‘We ate and drank with you, and you taught in our streets.’

27 “But he will reply, ‘I don’t know you or where you come from. Away from me, all you evildoers!’

28 “There will be weeping there, and gnashing of teeth, when you see Abraham, Isaac and Jacob and all the prophets in the kingdom of God, but you yourselves thrown out. 29 People will come from east and west and north and south, and will take their places at the feast in the kingdom of God. 30 Indeed there are those who are last who will be first, and first who will be last.”

Even a lot of people calling them self Christians will not enter heaven.  An other place He say that "many are called, but few get saved"  and "the road is hard".  Why is this?  We are full of sin and do not want the light that expose us as we really are.  We are like cowards hiding in the shadow,  making up religious rites that fits us well.  Jesus is the only true light.  Come to Him.  He will expose you, and give you the opportunity to get things right.  It is not just a philosophy or an other religion, it is the real life.  He is Life.

I do not want to be rude, but your religious system leads nowhere other then to hell.  The point in believing in a Deity is to honour the Creator, forgiveness for sin, and eternal life.  Your way does not accomplish any of this.  No human man made religion does that.  This is what the only true God say John 14

The Way, the Truth, and the Life

14 “Let not your heart be troubled; you believe in God, believe also in Me. 2 In My Father’s house are many mansions; if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. 3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself; that where I am, there you may be also. 4 And where I go you know, and the way you know.”

5 Thomas said to Him, “Lord, we do not know where You are going, and how can we know the way?”

6 Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.
