Exposing your child to religion...

Exposing your child to religion...
This is probably the wrong place to post this.

I have a new fear. I have a 2 year old boy, who incidentally is possibly the most awesome thing in the world. Other people with kids may say the same, but frankly they're wrong!

Anyhoo... We took him on a play date with a kid from nursery, they get on amazingly well and play together really well, its really great to watch.

However, during this time I find out that the parents are religious... But religious to the extent that he is a pastor. Not only that. But a pastor of an evangelical church. I've not found out if he's new Earth creationist or not (this would be properly scary) but the church website sites a lot of loving Jesus and enrolling others.

This bothers me. It bothers me a lot. The thing is that they are really nice people, but I have a fear they are going to poison his mind. I know its crazy talk but you get a bit weird when you have your first kid and get overly protective.

Just looking for points of view really.
