Will you raise your children as Atheists?

We were gaving a discussion about evolution and the way it propagates, and she must have recognized that this is in contention with the Adam and Eve story (she learned from her grandparents). After a long pause, she asked me if Adam and Eve were real, and I straight up told her they were not, and explained how it was impossible.

I kind of laughed and thought to myself, "Well, so much for not telling her Christianity is wrong."

The hard part was wording it in such a way as to save face for the people she respects who believe that sort of thing.

That would be the problem with questions huh? We ended up there pretty fast. The other early kid question was, "who made god?"
If there is a god, I want to believe that there is a god.  If there is not a god, I want to believe that there is no god.
