Believing in God, heaven, miracles, etc. adheres to the definition of a "religion", even if you don't subscribe to the specific practices proposed by an organized one. Just thought I'd point it out.

Not necessarily...answering "No" could apply to religious parents with atheistic children (or vice-versa), but with "Yes" it does always imply religious adherence, which is not always the case. What the survey also fails to address is when parents have differing religious views between themselves, which I'm finding relatively common from the responses here.
