I told them the truth, not the partial truth you state above. When they asked, This is essentially what I told them: There are many (no where near most) that believe in the gawd of the buy-bull (without the antagonistic spellings ) but that many also believe in the god of the Koran. There are also a shit-ton that believe in Buddha, Krishna and many others. There are some who believe in many and many who believe in none at all. It's up to you to figure out what makes sense to you.
Would I have been disappointed if one of them had fallen for the bullshit? Sure. Would I have disowned them as many "Good Christians" would have done. Absolutely not. That being said, I really am glad that my kids will never fear a mythical place in an imaginary afterlife made up by someone else!
