Speaking of kids, I hope you bring yours up with an open mind and don't brainwash them before they have a chance to develop their own views.
I have two of the best children a man could ask for. They were brought up 100% absent religion, god and parental brainwashing of an kind.
They are not bigots, not homophobic, do not fear people from other races and/or religions, they don't hate anyone from another county because there has never been a reason to. Their parents NEVER put beliefs in their head.
They were also free to choose a religion if they wanted/needed one when they were older. I would have ZERO problems if they wanted to be Muslim, Catholic or Christian.
Funny thing, both in their early twenties now, see no need for religion.
They don't blame the devil when bad things happen. They own their own mistakes. They take credit for their own accomplishments and shortcomings.
In other words, they own their life and mind. It's a wonderful thing, and I could not be more proud.
