I don't plan to teach my children that any sort of religion is real, though I have no doubt that if they take after me, and their grandfather, they'll certainly be fascinated by it from a folkloric perspective.
If you think I'm bringing baggage please let me know, because otherwise I don't think I am. I struggled more to believe and pretend I believed than to "deconvert". There was no one bad event or series of unfortunate ones. For a while I was peaceable with it. It's only the way I observe that religious people treat others that makes me loathe organized religion, not something personal that I carry around like a chip on my shoulder.
