Becoming educated in and experiencing different faiths, if you can present that as a positive, so you can understand and appreciate your own faith (without hinting that that will necessarily end up Baptist), I'd try to formulate something in that direction, as if you are still up in the air and exploring and learning, etc. Time passing with you not "coming back" will help I think?
Thanks for the idea. In my family my step-mom won't allow my dad to go to church (she's abusive), but both my dad and I want my sister in church (she's 8). In my family being 'educated in and experiencing different faith' is very wrong. They are the stereotypical southern family.
