And both were told. by me, that if they had questions to ask. If they had doubts to investigate.
As it stand now our daughter is an avowed atheist and our son believes in a higher power but not the Catholic/Earth version of "God".
As I get older I feel more and more that we should not teach religion to children until they are old enough to ask question and not accept blindly.
Religious belief is at the core of civilized western society. It's guides us all morally. Which is crucial for children. If someone gets older and walks away then so be it .... but blowing off the most crucial years of learning is just playing with disaster.
