Some are and others are not.......to be or not to be........
There was that incident a year or so ago.
A father, of a little girl, did not want her saying, the Lord's Prayer in school, and raised the issue in court.......he, being an atheist......it was over-turned, as was properly so!
The little girl, had no idea what the issue was about,
..........herself, being too young at the time.

If my daughter read everything, analyzed it, and determined for herself that it made the most sense to her, I would not be disappointed. Whether she grows up to believe in any religion is far less important to me than whether she reaches her conclusions through actual study and research rather than because some fool indoctinated her by shouting "Jesus is lord" or "Allah Akbar" every time she tried to ask a question.
Essentially, it is her choice. I can only try to give her the logical framework within which to make her choices.

I shouldn't think so.
I'm Atheist, but I also respect peoples opinions, if my children read the Bible, I wouldn't mind, I'd probably help them or read it to them.
But I really don't believe in it :) Just wait until they grow up and explain how you feel about it, I'm sure they'll have a sense about it.
..unlike most adults, hah

Any child of mine that went over to the delusional dark side called religion would be disowned for becoming a waste of skin.

No, what's the big deal? At least, it wasn't forced down their throats by stupid fundy parents. It's the kids' choice. Kids must be free to choose their religion or lack thereof. Then we will see the truth that religion is not fundamental or absolute in any way, it's just like music or culture or entertainment.

No. I'd be wanting them to be happy above everything else. As long as they didn't fall into a dangerous cult or sect, I'd be fine with it. I can, after all, agree to disagree with the ones I love.

Atheists in general are disappointing

Not really,, My daughter goes to church with her grandmother every Sunday.
When she is old enough,, she will choose on her own,,until then it is a nice social time for her. You see atheists are not threatened by things we do not believe,, we leave that to the religious people.

My friend became a Christian and her family is atheist. Her folks were disappointed for a couple years, but they were cool with it after seeing her disposition improve. Now they encourage her to go to church, which is strange.

The things I care about my kid doing:
-If they are doing drugs, I care
-If they are dealing drugs, I care,
-If they are a prostitute or pimp, I care
-If they are not doing well in school, I care
-If they don't feel good about themselves, I care
-If they're in trouble with the law/ or someone that wants to hurt them, I care
Religion is a very puny aspect to care about
