Raising an Atheist
#19
RE: Raising an Atheist
Just be sure to love your children unconditionally regardless of what they end up believing as they transition into adulthood. It's important they know that no matter what you'll always be there for them. And always remember that despite all your efforts, they may not turn out how you expect them to. Outside of that, be sure they're well versed in critical thinking and skepticism. Comparative religion would be an immeasurable addition as well. Atheism isn't so much important as gaining an understanding of religious belief. I don't have children of myself, but I'm sure their social interactions will work themselves out. Religious belief hardly ever comes up between children. Kids are more interested in being kids than having philosophical debates. Try joining an atheist community, there's usually at least one around somewhere. They may have a daycare program you can immerse your kids into.
