My parents got divorced when I was 8 years old because of religious differences, my father being a Christian and my mother being a devout Mormon. I was a Mormon first, but after my parents got divorced I spent some time in my mom's church and my dad's church. What I quickly learned was that the Book of Mormon and the Bible didn't agree and didn't teach the same things. I came to the conclusion that the Bible was correct and got saved at the age of 12.
In any case, mixed religion families are a Very Bad Idea. Such marriages frequently end very badly.

I think it largely depends on how adamant on or both of the spouses is about the religion issue.
For me, I am much more concerned that my children grow up to be patriotic and moral citizens that faithful churchgoers.
To me, the fact that someone goes to church means nothing. I see people who go to church every week screw people in business all during the week and yet hold themselves out to be good people.
I see many people who never set foot in a temple or church yet are the best people on earth.
I refuse to believe that God will accept the churhgoer who treats people like crap while ingoring the moral decent person who does not.

I'm sorry for your family but glad you got out of Mormonism.
God Bless you.
