I prefer the phrase that you used in a private email, "so that they
look good" [to [a `just'] society]. It's the term "credit to their
family" which conjures-up, in my mind, at least, images of parents
who are more concerned about looking like good parents than being
good parents. These are a dangerous type of parents.

Well, it might've gotten off-topic. :) Religion does relate to
raising children in at least so much as choosing the "right thing"
(eg. "raise them so that they look good to society").
