[quote=Anonymous]It makes me sad this thread took such a turn toward extremes.  Though that had a lot to do with the "secret baptism" reference in the OP that I wish wasn't there.

There are good sincere people out there who grew up with religion as a positive influence in their life who are looking at their younger loved ones and concerned that they are missing out.  This is not all that different than those who observe extended families having less of a bond/relationship, or disconnecting from rural small communities and moving to larger urban areas.  (I know my analogy isn't perfect, so please don't attack it.  Rather try to understand what I am attempting to get across.)

Should they try to control or prevent these changes, evolution?  No.  But I can empathize with someone who has trouble accepting it.

I mentioned earlier that my own mother's faith is a central force in her life, and a good one.  (Note I am not talking about her organized religion or doctrine, but her faith.)  I understand her concern that neither me nor my children believe, and I see no harm in her talking to my kids about her faith.  In fact, I think it is a good thing.
