See, I agree with the majority, in that I'd accept my child regardless of their beliefs. In that first choice, you put that very big qualifier of IF in there. As in, IF they "rationally believe in god." My child may very well grow up and decide to be a muslim because of her father's belief, does that mean I automatically reject her? Absolutely not.

I think you are trying to set atheists up by making us look like a bunch of closed minded assholes. How's that working out for you?
