I told her that he deserved to know that people think different things, but she said to let her raise him her way.. blah blah blah... anyway, I still wouldn't lie.It doesn't matter what you say, she is raising her kid *her* way. There is no way you should lie to the kid, especially if they bring the subject up!
I used to help at a local Cub Scout group and, being a religiously based, the question of beliefs did arise every so often (for cetain badge work eg: world relgions). If I was dealing with a group of kids and having to tell them about religion I would always preface it with "*Some* people believe..." if they asked me directly I'd say I didn't believe.
