[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes, I did this.  We are atheists and non-church goers but both were raised with religion.  My kids went to a Baptist preschool.  Daily prayers, chapel once a week, etc.  It was close to my house and I liked the program overall.

My take is that understanding religion is a critical part of participating in the secular world.  I have tried to expose my kids to all kinds of religions and I would ultimately like them to make up their own mind about what they think.  So I viewed preschool as an opportunity as part of that process.  I would be happy for my kids if they were ultimately believers on some level.  I think there can be a lot of comfort and community derived from faith-based organizations.  [/quote]

You're an atheist, but are hoping that your children are believers?  That is odd. It is one thing to be accepting of it, but you are apparently looking for that comfort and community for them.

To OP, I absolutely would not, not at this age. At this age they take everything to be truth and are not quite old enough for those conversations. [/quote]
