Parenthood

I've already shared my thoughts on this in post #16 regarding this.

I think a child should be taught values, not bias for or against religion.

Great. I also think they should be taught to value freedom - from indoctrination - so that often rules out any passing on of religious beliefs, but which happens rather too much. And since the non-believers are in a minority, it tends to be that it is the religious who are doing such - passing on their beliefs rather than enabling any freedom. And values can be quite separate from religious beliefs - the vast majority, that is, as to being a decent human being.

You might want to alter this unless you want to be seen as someone sneering at differing views. And I would hope any atheist or agnostic would be honest with their children and not try to influence them as to what they believe in this regard. They might also like to point out the variety of religious beliefs to choose from though.

Oh that's what you were talking about? thank you. I don't think people see me as sneering I would think they would see it as a misspelling

I know that most religious families introduce their children to their religion. Do agnostics and atheists introduce their children to agnosticism and atheism? Some families may introduce many religions and beliefs to their children and let them choose.
