Teaching is generally something to be grateful for.

They're doing the very thing that they're accusing Christians of doing - spoon-feeding children with their beliefs. Is it really necessary for them to rally the children into a group under some Sunday School Atheist teacher?

I really wish I had the link. It was written awhile back.

If the spoon-fed information was critical thought, does it qualify in the same vein as unsubstantiated claims that Christians make?

By your logic, something like Camp Quest is just as bad as any Christian summer camp, despite that one holds critical thought discussions, holds to a strict anti-discrimination policy and invites a variety of speakers from different faiths as opposed to a monolithic grouping which dedicates arts and crafts to some imaginary friend without any proof and is usually centered on a belief to the detriment of all others.

Don't bother claiming that a lack of belief constitutes a belief - I will shoot back at you that the usual logic in that statement would be the assertion then that bald is a hair color and not-collecting-stamps is a hobby.
