Indoctrinating Children in Religion
#43
RE: Indoctrinating Children in Religion
I would hope that I would never "teach" my children anything that I couldn't back up with solid, rational reasons. I would never expect them to believe anything just because I said so, or because I believe it. Of course when they are very young, as I said, I would have to make allowances for their wellbeing and program a bit of health and safety in there. But I would never program in more than was strictly necessary, and I would always plan to back it up later with full explanation.

The idea that I'd raise my kid "atheist" doesn't even make any sense. I'd be happy for them to learn about all religions and I would not tell them what to believe. If they decided they wanted to be a Muslim one day, then they'd be a Muslim.
Feel free to send me a private message.
Please visit my website here! It's got lots of information about atheism/theism and support for new atheists.
