Hello....new here

RE: Hello....new here
Welcome, welcome!
I'm not sure the intro zone is the best place for this kind of advice, but here goes.

Be a the best parent you can. At this stage in their lives, they just want you to be there. You are their safety net, their pillar, their anchor.
Up until now, you have been (at least partly) responsible for the christian upbringing of your children, so now you have to face it.

Be what you are, answer them when they ask questions about it. Answer as truthfully and honestly as possible. Let them make up their own mind about what's happened to you. Even if they remain religious, they'll know there's a good person which is not religious, so they won't be sucked into the lie that atheists are evil, or whatever lies "they" tell about us. They'll keep growing to respect the lack of faith.

[/my 2 cents]
