Americans and Religion

[Quark]

Is this a view any of the american posters here can recognize?
Least likely to "let their children marry Athiests"?

Umm... what parents are enforcing arranged marriages? Do American parents really have any ability to "not let" their children marry anyone?

They have the ability to say "I will disown you" just as any parent could, theoretically. That's about as close to "not let" as you can get, especially if your getting more than just moral support from your parents currently:P

It is an issue in my area with Jewish people, in fact. I've seen many relationships not work out with the sticking issue being the Jewish mother did not support it.
