You're welcome 
Oh sure, I assumed that you didn't try and pressure her. Unlike the stereotype, I doubt many atheists keep screaming at their kids that "you should be an atheist". You only have to promote proper thinking and be there to guide them. And I'm sure you would have accepted had they decided to go the religious route anyhow. But with a proper grounding in how to think and no indoctrination, it's a pretty good formula for a free thinker to emerge
I feel maybe theists assume atheism needs indoctrination because religion does...
