  I'm raised Christian from both parents, and my wife who wasn't has gone more of a Dawkins atheist route. I would best describe us as soft agnostic and hard agnostic. I think the key is accepting that none of us know what the fuck is going on in an unobservable space. We'll raise our child(ren) by letting them develop their own world model, rigid where provable, soft where not. Always retesting. I want to believe David Lynch made Blue Velvet on purpose as opposed to the ramblings of a mad man, even though no one can prove that to me. That is a soft belief, just like faith in "something" (should be). We are happily accepting of each other. If we instead would've had fundamentally different views on what facts and beliefs are, that would have been a problem.
