[quote=Anonymous]My husband and I are not religious. I was raised in a household to believe that Santa and heaven are real, but I seriously doubted it as a kid. I don’t know if I want to keep up the Santa facade with my son. It seems cruel to lead him on about a non-existent being. My husband and I don’t believe in heaven or any concept of Christian. I have complicated feelings about Judeo-Christian holidays, especially with the history of Christian missionaries destroying cultures and original religions, witch trials, etc. If you don’t believe in God, or fantasies, what do you teach your children? My husband and I believe in science and nature, that energy can’t be destroyed. But the reality is none of us know for sure. I don’t want to create some kind of existential crisis in my son. He’s only 2, so he has no concept of religion right now at all. [/quote]
