My decision was, even in hindsight, one that I believe has provided them the freedom to make their own decision. When discussing the existance of a god, I would say this..."in my opinion (very important) *insert atheist viewpoint* but its best if you look into it yourself and come to you own conclusion" I would say this too in regard to politics.Almost exactly the same thing I did with my kids. It seemed like the most sensible way really.
I did also add "...you might see things differently when you grow up, but that will be up to you".
