Largely because I think it gives some real insight and understanding of other cultures.
The only real downside was the occasional obligatory Mass, which, as you get older, you learn how to skip or you sit through them.
Learning other culture's beliefs is, in my opinion, fascinating.

We have had one kid in the public system, and another in the catholic system for a number of years.
They really aren't all that different, just a "mandatory" religion class in the catholic system, and masses every once in a while - which have had "hymn sings" with Katy Perry songs.
We are a household where religion is important, so we attend church regularly and talk about it a lot. But we are also very pro science and ACTUALLY caring for people (the current war on trans and LGBTQ people for example), so we chat about how we can reconcile modern understanding of those types of things into having an "orthodox" faith.
