Nowadays, it is not uncommon to get married to someone who does not share your religious views. This might, however, lead to serious disputes in case of a divorce. Numbers of interfaith marriages are increasing, and divorces are not becoming less common, so this is a topic worth discussing.

Last month, we posted about about Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes getting a divorce. It is common knowledge that Tom Cruise is a scientologist, and this fits perfectly to our topic.

Globalgrind reported a follow-up story on this celebrity divorce, saying Suri and Katie are now leaving scientology behind. According to the story, Katie has enrolled Suri in a private Catholic school, even though Tom wanted her to go to a scientology school. Fortunately, Tom and Katie have reached a settlement, putting Suri's happiness and education above their own preferences.

Since the advent of the social media website, many people are sharing their lives on the internet. You can find whole families of people sharing pictures, stories and other things through Facebook, Twitter, and other social media sites.
