I hate the idea of them being taught such stories as Abraham about to sacrifice Isaac and the global flood myth like I was. Religion teachers always gloss over the death aspect and focus on "the glory of God." But perhaps I can explain that God killing people or telling others to kill people doesn't make him a good God.My atheist father allowed me to be raised catholic by my irish roman catholic mother. As a result, I have deep-seated neuroses that I still struggle to overcome, even in my late 30's. Don't be fooled; catholic memes are invasive, pervasive & damaging.
So, do you have any examples of what should be countered/explained from an early age?
