Raising atheist kids.

If they become atheists, it will be because they were never told by their parents that there's a God they have to pray to yadda yadda. I'm not going to tell my daughter that there's no God, much less that I expect her to not believe in one. I'm sure that I'll tell her that I myself don't believe in one and will explain why when the issue comes up. I first and foremost hope to raise critically thinking kids.

My stepson has a very religious uncle. Thankfully, he's ridiculous enough that the boy picked up on it from a young age. When we talked about belief in god, I just told him I don't believe in god for the same reason I don't believe in ghosts. When he told me he was an atheist at about 9 or 10, I told him maybe he should wait to label himself. I also told him to make sure my then in laws knew I didn't tell him to be an atheist. Tongue
