At what age should a child be introduced to religion?
#18
RE: At what age should a child be introduced to religion?
When they ask about it. Sort of like when you start to discuss sex.

At first, explain that people believe these things, but that different people believe different things. Than give a text on world religion, possibly along with books on Greek and Norse mythology (and/or Egyptian).

Later, go into the history of the subject and perhaps the philosophical issues.
