[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am a nanny and I am an atheist. Usually I've worked for families who were atheists as well, or at most agnostic, or made no mention of their religion to me, but one of my very first jobs was for a religious family (like, say grace before meals, church on Sundays, Sunday school for kids, let's ask Jesus where the toy car'a gone, the whole thing) and it made me uncomfortable quite a lot, simply because the mom answered DD's questions of why it's raining with "The Lord is sad that's why" on a daily basis, and hearing it made my science major brain cry. Especially once it was somehow established I did not believe I was made of rib of Adam, I started getting a lot of slightly passive aggressive "oh you wouldn't understand because you haven't been brought up in faith". It wasn't even meant maliciously, I don't think - I truly believe she was just sad for me. So I quit - for other reasons as well, but this was a big part of it, too.

So basically what I'm saying if either party pushes their views it might get uncomfortable fast. [/quote]

We were brought up being told thunder was God going bowling, but it doesn't mean I don't know how thunder is created. [/quote]
