Parenting as an Atheist
#8
RE: Parenting as an Atheist
I had similar parents growing up my mother was atheist and my father was muslim.

My father however never forced us too go to mosque we went a few times a year too observe Muslim holidays but that was it. My mother would love going too the mosque, never once said anything bad or negative about religion or Islam, and just enjoyed the holidays. My mother even bought fancy silk scarves for her and my sister too wear but they never once put them on, except too go too mosque a few times a year.

I never learned Arabic so I might as well have been "praying" in Chinese. I actually went too a Catholic school growing up even though nobody in my family was Christians. Ironically teaching me more about Christianity as a kid then Islam.

My point is you "shouldn't let your wife" take your kids too church you should all go as a family, and show your kid that its okay too go to church, after all its just reading a few poems and singing a few songs. Just don't go every week and make it an obsession. And always be there too answer questions, and offer another point of view

like my atheist mother did with me Smile
