text: A married couple who each follow different religions came up with an unusual approach to raising their children - bringing up each of them in a separate faith. Diane Greenberg, a devout Catholic, and her husband Bob, who is Jewish, decided to split their family down the middle when it came to religion. Diane took charge of her daughter, Katie, 24; while Bob took the reins teaching Steven, 21, as they grew up in New Hope, Pennsylvania. Unusual set-up: Steven and Katie Greenberg, above, were raised in separate faiths - Steven Jewish and Katie Catholic . Katie had a confirmation, attended weekly Catholic instruction and remains a committed Christian to this day. Meanwhile Steven was circumcised when he was eight days old, and was given religious lessons in an Orthodox Hebrew school, NBC's Today Show reported. While Katie remains Christian today, Steven is now agnostic. Because his mother was not Jewish, his father was also unable to arrange a bar mitzvah for him, and admits he was less strict keeping up his religious education than Diane was with Katie. Diane revealed that their approach baffled many close to them. She said: 'I know people have looked at us like we were nuts. Together: Diane and Bob Greenberg, above with their children in a 2010 photograph, made the decision even though it baffles many . 'I didn’t really want to tell either one of our families for a long time what we were planning. We kept mum about it to most people but if we did tell friends, they all said we were crazy.' Nonetheless, the Greenberg clan think their unorthodox arrangement has its advantages. Katie said: 'I don’t know anybody else who did what my parents specifically did, but it was just never strange for me. '...We’d go to the Jewish side of my family [on Jewish holidays] and I definitely find comfort in Jewish traditions because I grew up with them, but there’s always been a “that’s not my religion" thing.' She concluded: 'For me, this was just normal. It wasn’t something that ever struck me as odd. And my parents were very good about it. There was never any pressure from them. It was really just normal for us. I think it made sense for them so we went with it.'
