Parenting as an Atheist
#13
RE: Parenting as an Atheist
I have two daughters and a wife who is mildly religious. I think she is afraid to let go of it because here parents are so devout. My dad is a pastor also so there is constant give and take within my family structure. I simply talk to my daughters honestly. My five year old is not old enough to care or ask questions, but my 7 year old is very intelligent and has questioned quite a few things. My wife is very good about not trying to persuade either way(unlike her and my parents) and we seem to have struck a good balance for now. When the questions come I just ask them what they think and try to ensure they understand it is necessary to ask questions and look at all things critically.
