I think in many ways we do influence our children with our beliefs or lack thereof whether that influence be intentional or unintentional is a different story altogether. I have two daughters one is 12 and the other is 15 yrs. old. On one hand they have their uncle who from time to time takes them to a Pentecostal church (not anymore since they refuse to go) and their mom who claims to believe in God although she is not a practicing Christian. I am openly atheist and every once in awhile my children would ask me about god things that they hear from friends at school and I would give them my honest opinion. My girls are sort of on the fence about the matter but I am sure that when they are older they will be able to make a more informed decision as to where they stand on matters of religion and god beliefs. I feel that kids are too young to comprehend the complexity that is religion and so it is something that is better left for an age of greater maturity.
There is nothing people will not maintain when they are slaves to superstition
