So my nieces are being raised christian...

So my nieces are being raised christian...
I'm an atheist, but my sister and her brother are religious. They're not extremists, but I still kind of want to let my nieces know that not everyone believes the bible is the infallible word of anyone. I don't know if they're planning to completely shut them off from anyone saying otherwise, but I know that's my grandmother's way of dealing with naysayers. I have been told it's not my place to teach them life lessons, though this was in context to the way they try to play games.

I certainly don't plan to keep it a secret that I'm atheist, but they're not my kids and I figure as long as they're not volatile to othr people then it may be fine. Extremism is the real problem here.

What would you guys do in this situation?

Good video to watch, if you want to know how common the Jesus story really is.
