We have mixed-race marriages, same-sex marriages, same sex couple adoption of children and many, many more other examples too long to be listed. People still live by the Torah, Bible or the Koran and it is about time that parents let their children at least have access to literature that teaches them to open their minds, and to think outside of religion. For some, it is too late, but it is upto the next generation of parents and also the schools to allow children read anything written by atheists, that way, children can actually make their own minds up as to which path they want to take in their lives. I have two daughters, they are not baptised and I have been chatting to them about Richard Dawkins, Charles Darwin, Sam Harris and demonstrating how they think freely and how happy they are in their lives.
That's really good only if theists parents did the same thing though but they highly likely wont.
Can you imagine GC giving his kid a copy of "The Greatest Show on Earth" by Dawkins or "On the Origin of Species" by the great anti-christ himself. I sure as hell can't.
