[quote=Anonymous][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]

Your logic is mystifying. Your daughter is in a school yet has no friends from school she socializes with. You want her exposed to different beliefs but only enough not to get too close.

This has to be one of the more strange postings I have seen. Good Luck. You will need it as your daughter is going to actually want to socialize with some of those horrible religious people as she gets older.[/quote]
