I was raised to believe in a higher being, no specific religion, just that there's a god.
Now I'm an atheist and I don't believe there's a god, so being raised to believe in one thing doesn't mean it will happen. However, I don't think it's right to teach them religion because although I'm now atheist, I feel like I was misinformed and wronged in a way:L
I don't see what other purpose trying to get your children to practice religion would have beside trying to get them to believe it, I think it's wrong that some parents talk about it as if it's fact. People should be able to look at the options and consider which *they* believe, and I don't think children would do that.
I honestly think something like Aesop's Fables is the best thing for a child to read/ be told about. No prejudice or hate, just words of wisdom:)
Do you think children should practice religion?
