interfaith family
Multi-belief family unit
An interfaith family includes members of different religious backgrounds—typically a couple who don't share the same faith, along with their children.
The term usually arises in discussions about how such families navigate holidays, traditions, and religious education: As an interfaith family, we celebrate both Hanukkah and Christmas.
The challenges of interfaith families often center on which traditions to emphasize and how to raise children.
