So, my son attends school at the church
January 8, 2016 at 8:51 pm
My wife is religious (Despite how outspoken I am; although it doesn't strain our relationship, believe it or not). As a result, my preschool son goes to Montessori at the local church (my older son attends public school).

My boys know that I don't believe in god, and they know their mom does believe in god. I'm not shy about explaining to them my reasoning and neither is she.

I'm content that my boys can discern for themselves what they believe, and I'm really not concerned with them being exposed to religious beliefs.

With that said, here is something my son brought home from school:

Do you think this is imagery for Christianity? Or a harmless lesson to teach the letter T? He has never brought home any other such assignment for other letters of the alphabet.

Feel free to discuss in this thread the idea of an atheist sending his youngest son to school at a church, as well as discuss the photo I attached.

Thanks for reading!
