I would explain to them that they live in a world where a lot of people believe in the idea of deity. I would encourage them to always ask questions and find out the answers for themselves. I would teach them how to think and not what to think and let them take their own journey.

Note: I would intervene if they started having the idea that God was going to toast them in Hell. Not interested in my kids being scared shit-less. Although I think Aleia will have a lot of good insight to offer since she is an atheist parent :o
