so we never went to any form of church when mykids were little...they too wanted to go to church with friends..and i sure do understand that social..church family kind of need..so, i let them decide, but one day they came home...and all three were under 10 yrs..and had been not to church, but to an easter function at a catholic church..and came home very upset that jesus had had to die for "their" sins...so i really though this was way to much of a guilt trip for children anywhere to deal with..ha..so after that i would not let them go to churchs or church functions or organized religious functions with their friends, but i did tell them that if they did want to become part of a religion or to attent services, etc to check out which was the more appealing of suitable church for them, that i would go with them..and that i would take them to any church that they wanted to attend...and they seemed satisfied with that comprimise...and never did ask to attend a service of any sort. they are grown now..and have children of their own..and none are religious..but all are spiritual in their relationship with life.
