She wasn't very religious but her mother was.
by the time we got engaged we both lost our religion and converted to Buddhism (we do not believe in a god we follow the third school of philosophy)
But that being said the children have been heavily indoctrinated by her mother and other outside sources to the EXTREME.
my now-daughter brings up "god" all the time, saying stuff like "god healed my owy" etc.
When I told her god does not exist the look on her face would be the same if I had told her I was a martian.
How to break indoctrination?
We do not care if the children follow buddhism we would simply like them to use logic rather than fairy tales from a made up book.
wow, if they are "... indoctrinated by her mother... " I would take a long hard look in the mirror.
Do all atheist blame everything on "something else"?
I'm sorry that your lost or just really off. Hard look in the mirror? Shit, your right because we all share mirror like qualities and views as our parents. I come from an extremely religious christian family, I am buddhist (Athiest). My philosophy is a world apart from my families, different race, different culture, different life style. I fear your statement holds little to be desired.
My wife shares none of the catholic views of her mom, in fact she and I hold a rather strong disdain for them, her mother associates with extremists.
