"Nothing"  when it comes to religion, can be a good thing.

The point is that saying, "we will do nothing; our children can choose a religion when they are older" is meaningless given what the stats say re what that approach yields.[/quote]

So, if not indoctrinated as children, people tend not to become religious.

I think that's a good thing. [/quote]

There is no such thing as raising children without installing in them belief systems (in all areas).  Call it indoctrination, values, whatever, there is no way not to do it.

For me, raising children in a religious tradition is a positive thing.  [/quote]

"Beliefs systems" yes, we all have them -- belief in the value of compassion, honesty, hard work, etc.  However, most religions involve belief in supernatural events and I think there is no inherent value to teaching children to believe in things like a virgin birth, resurrection  of a dead body and a sea dividing and people living in a desert for 40 years with food falling from heaven.[/quote]
