[quote=Anonymous]I am Christian and my husband is atheist so we have this challenge too. I don't think religion is private, I think it's an important part of community life, so i don't mind my preschooler hearing stuff from his friends but I do try to stress that adults think different things and he has his entire life to learn these stories and decide what he believes. I also don't give an easy answer when he says "is this true?" because i don't think it's an easy answer even when I do believe it. Like when we were talking about Easter and he came out with "but that didn't happen! That's just a story!" I agreed with him that it is very hard to believe because it's impossible given what we know about the world, that's what we call a miracle, and some grown ups (like me) believe God can make something impossible happen but some do not. I want to create the space for him to know this is something to ask questions about and explore for himself, not just believe on authority. [/quote]
