AP not comfortable with our non-religious family

During matching, I stress being open to diversity is important—different races, cultures, opinions, sexual orientation. We are a mixed race family and would not tolerate prejudice. My husband is what I fondly term “a flaming liberal.” We tell our kids things like “Families can be very different. Ours has a mommy and a daddy. Others might have only one parent or two mommies/two daddies.” If AP ever said something to the contrary (or similar prejudicial thoughts), I think he would throw them out immediately.

Fortunately, we’ve never had issues. We’ve also not had issues with APs telling us we’re “not American enough” either.

You do accept and approve, of course, that a "flaming conservative" family might not "tolerate" such views, and any AP expressing such other views would rightfully be thrown out immediately. Right? Because we all acknowledge that "flaming liberals" are only tolerant of views exactly like their own.

Chiming in here....we are not tolerant of views that regard us as "less human" than others. Simple as that.

+1. Conservative, former military family and calling people terrorists is abhorrent.

Huh? You can have a religious background but not necessarily be observant

It’s not your faith, so no, it doesn’t make sense. For example, it makes zero sense to call yourself Jewish if you are in fact an atheist, no matter what your mother believes.

Lol nope. Clearly you have a very narrow concept of identity. It’s none of your business how people identify. It’s not up to you to tell them how they can define themselves. There are plenty of Muslims and Jews who are secular or even atheists who nevertheless identify with their heritage
