atheist parents

RE: atheist parents
The only thing you can really do for your children is teach them to think for themselves. If they decide to believe in god, there's not a lot you can do about it. I was religious when my son was younger, and he came to church with me, we prayed before meals etc. He's 18 now, barely remembers it, and he's an atheist.

Kids will decide for themselves, all you can do is be there for them and support them no matter what - that's what they'll remember and believe in in the end.
"No-one who decides that scientific evidence is not for him and that his own experience or the stories of others is the be all and end all of deciding what's true ever has the right to call people searching for reliable, repeatable evidence narrow-minded. That is hypocrisy of the most laughable kind." Derren Brown - Tricks of the Mind.
