I agree with most about the answer to this this question. However, I would have raised my children to think rationally and to have the ability to make up their own minds on what they want to believe (as long as it does not hurt anyone) instead of shoving beliefs and ideas down their throats. I wish every parent would do the same.

By the way, I find the statement "Accept them if they rationally believe in God" an oxymoron. You cannot reach a belief in an imaginary being by rational means. It takes blind faith, and blind faith is irrational.
Christianity: The belief that a cosmic Jewish Zombie who was his own father can make you live forever if you symbolically eat his flesh and telepathically tell him you accept him as your master, so he can remove an evil force from your soul that is present in humanity because a rib-woman was convinced by a talking snake to eat from a magical tree...
