[WhySoSerious?]

I think teaching a kid religion is quite a lot like brainwashing... especially if you don't open other options to them. They don't know what they're believing in, they're just doing it because "mummy told me God is real and that I will go to hell if I don't pray."

If I ever have children, I will do like my family did with me, and keep religion out of their lives. My family always told me that when I was older and could decide for myself I could believe whatever I wanted, but I had to know what I was believing first. My mother even told me I could be baptized when I was older if I decided I wanted to be. However, when I got older, I realized that I was perfectly happy being an Atheist .
