It's a deeply personal thing for each person. You may get some who are happy to open up about it, that's up to them but unsolicited questioning of someone's religious beliefs is about as personal as you can get, especially if they don't affect anyone else, least of all the person doing the asking.

I expect people to ask "What/why does the bible say such and such about this" (providing it's a legitimate interest and not an excuse to to bring views out in the open to criticise and attack them), it comes with the territory. But expecting/demanding someone to have their view questioned? Don't be in too much of a hurry for a response. I'm not telling anyone how to live. I know what works for me and I'm happy with that.

so long as that also includes people who don't have any other choice, like your children.
