If only religion (and specifically christianity) hadn't been refined over time to be so manipulative and pervasive you could just trust that your kids wouldn't buy snake oil. You're the parent, if you don't want your kids saddled with that garbage that's that. You aren't stirring any pot, your inlaws are. Are you seriously weighing your relative level of ease with your in-laws against the well-being of your child? There's an equation that should be easy to solve.
Pete here would like for his beliefs and your lack of beliefs to share equal footing and be valid avenues for your child. They are not on equal footing, and no respect should be afforded to those that would peddle this monstrous shit to a child. Of course the faithful are always handing the koolaid to kids, they can't help themselves. It's easier than trying to sell a full grown adult on fairy tales. I couldn't leave me kids in the care of fuckers like that without assurances that they would keep their mouths shut. This is how I've handled it with my extremely religious in-laws. No permission, no compromise, no possibility of appeal. Daddy hath spoken! lol. (they go behind my back and preach to my girls anyway, imagine that)
