Yes, I'll be sure to explain reproduction when they're old enough, and
also expose them to thoughtful works about the future such as Kurzweil's
"The Singularity is Near."

Yes, of course, your religion is the One True Religion and applies to
everybody else, even those members of a different religion who, oddly
enough, believe that theirs is the One True Religion and applies even to
you.
But yes, when the kids are old enough, we'll certainly go over all the
major faiths claiming to be One True Religions, as well as general
critiques such as Dawkins' "The God Delusion."
Maybe they'll be able to figure out why religious nuts feel the need to
cross-post to a bunch of unrelated newsgroups (which I am trimming in my
reply).
Best,
