What do you think of this article that suggests that children who are exposed to religion have difficulty distinguishing fact from fiction?

I wouldn’t say all kids would have that problem. My kids were exposed to religion regularly, but I really had nothing to say on the Jesus rising from the dead, walking on water, changed water into wine, feeding a bunch of people on one loaf of bread and one fish, and those other impossible things. I also stressed science in my house.

But if a child is raised by parents who fervently believe those things actually happened I could see it causing a problem.

What do you think?
