After I broke up with my son's mother, she found a partner who was allegedly born-again, and who tried to program my son with your horseshit.
I stopped that, because it both violated the agreement her and I had made, and also started making my son fearful of things like "daddy's going to hell".
I couldn't control what he heard from his friends, and that's fine, because I understood my status as an authority figure in his life. But having another adult trying to put such poisonous fingerprints on my son's brain was unacceptable.
It wasn't about indoctrinating him into my atheism. It was about not letting someone else extort his belief in something by holding his "soul" hostage with threats of hell.
