If everyone was atheist

Then he doesn't really care.

Quote:I'm sorry but it looks as though you misunderstood. I never said that. What I said was that I believe God created the concept of morality. Not that people can't be moral unless they believe in God.

So, what if they have a different morality than what you believe is god's morality?

Quote:My apologies. I misunderstood.

I should correctly say that a person can still be taught to use critical thinking skills, even if they are taught a particular faith. There are other subjects to learn from besides religion, where they will learn to use their critical thinking to come up with the right answers. Adding religion in there doesn't take away someone's ability to learn and use critical thinking.

Teaching a religion = teaching the conclusion

That denies critical thinking. You'd be teaching them to think critically, except for this one thing when you need to suspend reason. That goes against critical thinking.

Quote:I believe God is supernatural and isn't confined to the laws of nature. I believe He has always existed and was not designed by anyone.

That's called special pleading. You said everything that exists has a cause.

Quote:Sure, but teaching them about my faith, like teaching them anything else, won't automatically mean that they'll just blindly follow. I would encourage them to make sure they believe for themselves and not just because I told them.

It most likely will. Children work that way. They believe anything you tell them.
