Religious differances

Hubby is what I term a "lazy Christian" he believes and has gone through confirnation and all that jazz at a Lutheran church in his home town but to my knowlege hasn't been to church but a handfull of times in the 7 years we've been together, I am devout athiest but was raised in a Christian, mostly Southern Baptist family where my grand parents are missionaries and attend church a few times a year because my Mema loves it and since she has everything its something meaningful that I can give her.
Now I have no problem with our kids who are currently 1 and 2 being exposed to church but DH and I got on the topic a while back of how I would handle it if one or both kids went to church with and came home asking questions about whatever they "learned" in bible school, if I would say no this isn't true because... or if I would reenforce whatever (garbage) they learned.
Personaly it's my goal as a mother to raise my children to question things, including their dad and I in a respectful manner, and to think for themselves and not just follow blindly because some dead person said so since that is how we grow, learn and become aware of the world we live in. DH and I disagree greatly on religion we thus far have agreed to approach it from both view points if/when it ever becomes an issue but has this ever been an issue for anyone else? How did you and your SO handle religious beliefs and kids?
