| C'est la vie; win some, lose some. | 1 | 14.29% | |
| I'd respect their choice whether or not to attend customary religious activities or the atheist equivalent. (Is there one? Skepticism day camp?) | 0 | 0% | |
| I'd try my best to understand what had changed in their thinking and to understand their new beliefs. | 4 | 57.14% | |
| I would do my best to reason with them to dissuade them from leaving the beliefs they were raised in. | 1 | 14.29% | |
| While they are my dependents I'd still expect them to participate in the culture of the family, including religiously themed activities or their skepticism themed alternative - if there is one. | 0 | 0% | |
| I would not accept their decision and forbid them to speak of it. | 0 | 0% | |
| I would throw them out of the house and have nothing more to do with them. | 0 | 0% | |
| If their beliefs did not change by the time they were independent, I would likely have less to do with them than I would otherwise. | 0 | 0% | |
| I would end them. If God/reason can't have them, neither will Satan/a cult. | 0 | 0% | |

 RE: Have we asked theists what they'd do if their kids turned out like us?

My parents were only concerned for the fist 10 years or so. When they figured out I wouldn't go insane, wouldn't become a killer, or more weird than I all ready was, they let it go.
Being told you're delusional does not necessarily mean you're mental.
