[quote=Anonymous]I'm a liberal atheist as well and I wouldn't join a play date at a Mormon Temple or any other church or religious group.  Even if there were no active "recruitment," I still find it uncomfortable to be the only one in a group who is not united in the same faith and beliefs and I would want my child to have a diverse set of friends that included people not within that church community.  And I'm saying this even though we just switched my DD into a kosher, Jewish preschool!  Like a PP, I'm comfortable with my DD being exposed to religious beliefs and I also like the school because of small class sizes, excellent academics, and a variety of other qualities. However, the majority of our friends and playdate partners are not from the school so my DD is still exposed to a variety of people and I'm not stuck socializing only with people who have vastly different belief systems than I do.

OP, can you continue to be friends with this mom on the playground while avoiding joining her Mormon moms group? [/quote]
