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
Well, I didn't really talk too much to my parents about religion when I was little, but I mostly talked with my grandparents, who were mildly religious.
I got most of my knowledge about the native religion here(Islam), from them, but my father knew a lot more than any of us, although mostly on a theological basis, rather than a practical one.
My grandmother had practical knowledge, so she taught me how to pray and stuff...
When I got a little older, I began to discuss religion, however that was overshadowed when I began to develop ideas, drastically different from what my father and mother had. That was the source for most of the drama in the house.
