IMO, teaching them how to think is much more crucial than teaching them what to think when it comes to such a subject, especially before they're genuinely capable of determining what's best for them. |
I personally hate all religions, some more than others, that said, teaching your children your beliefs is fine. Teaching to kill in the name of any god is abuse. I do believe that most need something bigger than themselves to believe in and the reason I tolerate most religions.
Now step back from the keyboard and take a deep breath.
