So I am a divorced father of two kids ages 6 and 7. They live full time with their mother and attend church (LDS) every other Sunday (when they're not with me). It scares me to think about the brainwashing that goes on from a young age, but I try to keep the peace between me and my ex so I am finding it difficult to find the appropriate time and issues to bring up with my kids. Right now I just try to make sure they understand what thinking for themselves means and drop little nuggets of wisdom like "Question everything". Also I think back to my own childhood and how I was raised, which was baptist, and I turned out ok. Although I went to church out of my own free choice. Interestingly enough the question of why I dont go to church hasnt come up yet, or the desire for me to take them to church. My son will be baptized next year, as 8 apparently is the right age for that. So I guess I am just wondering when is the right age for my kids to see alternate views and opinions?

Anyone have any thoughts or experience with this?
