Re: Explaining Religion to a Child - May 13th 2011, 11:31 AM
My dad actually told me "don't believe everything you hear" when I was about 5. People say I was a bit too young for him to tell me that but I thank him.

I would tell my child that people follow different religions and believe different things but I personally don't. I would tell him/her it's fine if s/he's religious or not.

Edit: Actually, no. I wouldn't care if my child was Christian. I WOULD care if their form of Christianity turned into the Westboro Baptist Church's though.

My parents are Buddhists and I'm an Atheist. It doesn't bother any of us.
