I did read your entire post. The first time I replied actually. I can honestly say that you must not have children, or have not seriously thought about this subject enough. That's why your first post pissed me off a tad bit.
I would never speak to my son that way, nor would he ask those sorts of questions. He would most likely never look at life the way you described.
I do not and will not raise my son with that type of negativity.
You talk as if atheism is a depressive fill for the lack of religion that would be there. And I don't see any positive pointers in your jibber jabber.
Like really, I don't see where your absolute point is.

There are also informative books for me to read to my child
There will be no hole if there was never something there to make a hole.
Logic reason and science will occupy that space..
Quote: Atheists have a difficult mission, because when you remove religion, a big gap is left. An existential gap. Children don't have the necessary wisdom to fill the gap entirely, so they look towards you to fill it. It is a great responsibility that cannot be dodged. You chose the hard way, so you have to be ready.
I would make it sound like an exciting challenge, saying: "Honey, every human being wants to become immortal through scientific advances. Make no mistake, every human so far ended up dead, giving their lives towards progress and scientific advances, but where they have failed, you will succeed."
It is the truth, and justifies everything, going to school, struggling etc.
Better then some bullshit Adam and Eve story lol. Read the rest of my previous post and you will understand what I mean. Parents like you are not you, they are parents in your SITUATION. You mistook SITUATION for BELIEFS. You thought I meant parents who believe like you.
