One of the things I’m most proud of as a parent is giving my children the gift to believe or not to believe.
It will be their choice either way. They won’t be forced to attend the same church I was raised in. I like this quote from Richard Dawkins:
It is a remarkable coincidence that almost everyone has the same religion as their parents and it always just happens to be the right religion.
Children naturally gravitate to the belief system of their parents. Whether your parents are Catholic, Buddist, Seventh-Day Adventist, Mormon or one of the nearly 4200 religions around the world, there is a good chance the religion you believe to be true will be the same one your parents believe to be true.
If our children want to try out different churches, they are welcome to do so. Even though I don’t believe in God, I will encourage them to learn as much as they can about the people, history, and doctrine of any religion they consider joining.
