                    No, I was not forced to go to church as a child.  My wife and her sister were forced to go.  I think it was a bad idea.  My sister-in-law now has a life long animosity towards the church and organized religion.  My wife's feelings are sort of neutral to on the negative side.  
My parents-in-law forcing my wife and her sister to go to church did not have the expected results.  Overall, it was a bad idea.

                    Not at all, although my parents are Christians they felt we had a right to choose our own religion and took us periodically but it was never forced. When we reached 13 we were offered Confirmation but I knew by then that my beliefs were different and I chose to follow my heart rather than copying my parents beliefs.
