Will you raise your children as Atheists?

[Thumpalumpacus]

I raised my son to be a thinker. He's an atheist of his own accord. His mother was Catholic when he was born (she's since converted to Buddhism-lite), and I had already been an atheist for 16 years -- so we agreed that neither of us could indoctrinate him, and that we each were entitled to tell him our true and exact views if he asked.

CD, so sorry to hear how your ex- is disregarding your wishes, but I applaud you for doing the right thing and not trying to undermine or damage their relationship. That takes a hell of a lot of internal discipline and selflessness.
