[quote=Anonymous]I grew up a religious Catholic, helped out a church bazaars and made ethnic church food and did other church events together with family.  But I questioned the existence of god in high school, then college, lost faith, and never went back.  And it was only AFTER then that I really looked at how men in power use the bible to to take away women's choices and keep them subservient to men, and only after THAT that all the sex scandals with Catholic priests broke.  So nope.  No thanks.  I will teach my daughter about religion and let her decide what to do for herself, but she's not going down the same road I took.

I'm an atheist but my daughter is one of the kindest and most rule-following kids in her class.  You don't need religion to be a good person.  In fact, I sometimes look at religious people with suspicion now, given the terrible things that we have seen people use religion to effectuate or excuse.  There is such hypocrisy there, but people can be very blind to it for a very long time.  [/quote]
