[quote=Anonymous]We take our kids to church on occasion because I like the cultural aspects of it, and we talk with our kids generally about God or a possible higher power. But we also spend talk a lot about “some people believe X, some people believe Y, what do you think?” The goal is to have them be open minded and to have the ability to embrace a spiritual side of themselves if that becomes important to them.

They’ve already poked a ton of holes in some of the Christian stories and we’re not going to gaslight them with fantastical explanations of why there is only “one true religion.”

Also, we talk a lot about galaxy formation. And the miracle it is that we’re here. They know the statistical odds of being born, that life is precious and rare. They know we’re written up by a really complex code called DNA and we wonder what that means about our creation.

My kids are young (6 and 8) and able to have interesting conversations about this stuff, so I disagree with a PP who says it’s too confusing to teach your kids about more than one religion. We haven’t gone into atheism though because I want my kids to come to that one on their own if that is what they choose to believe.[/quote]
