(December 31, 2017 at 9:47 pm)AFTT47 Wrote: I'm not sure if you meant the thread title to be a joke (raise an atheist by forcing religion on him/her) but in case you didn't, I think it's just as wrong to actively influence a child to be an atheist as it would be to steer him/her to a religion.

As per usual, AFTT is wise.

Teach a child how to think, not what to think. Let them evolve into their own person.
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great
