Family researchers interested in the links between religion and family life have been challenged to move beyond a simplistic linear conceptualisation of religion (how much religion). Studies in the psychology of religion suggest that the way in which religious beliefs are internalised and the degree of openness with which religious notions are held (what kind of religion) are associated with issues of mental health and interpersonal relationships (Batson, Schoenrade, & Ventis, 1993). Thus, the present study hypothesised that what kind of religion measures would be more strongly associated with the nature of family relationships than how much religion measures. Study participants comprised a national sample of 996 Seventh-day Adventists aged 19-93 years. The results supported the view that how an individual engages in religious practice (what kind of religion) is more strongly linked to the quality of family relationships than how much religion that individual reports. Participants reporting rigid and literalistic or guilt driven approaches to religion reported an increased emphasis on control and difficulty in expressiveness in relationship with children, and lower levels of satisfaction, difficulties in communication, and support for traditional gender roles in relationship to marital partners. In contrast, participants who identified with and maintained an open approach to religious sentiment tended to promote independence in children and were more likely to engage children in affectionate and warm relationships and experience increased marital satisfaction. The findings suggest a parallel in kind between the internal dynamics of religious motivation and way in which relationships are constructed with family members.

so you are saying that people have religious believes for various reasons and the conservative ones have poor family bondings and the ones with open approach towards religion have better relationship with their kids and in their marital life???

I consider that religion is always important to any family, conscious or unconscious. When a child is born under the star of some religion, no matter which one, his/her childhood is fulfilled with the parents/country religious customs, traditions, religious holidays, etc. It really influences the mind of a person. Thus, when two people from totally different religious words are trying to build a relationship, very rare they are successful in that.

In my family we practice close follow to our religion because it, nevertheless, allows to realize in everyday life and to show our own children the highly-moral principles.
