How far should religious proselytizing go in child rearing?

Asked by Blackberry (33949points) January 14th, 2010

I personally think it shouldn’t because of all the negativity that comes with religion. I have no problem with parents teaching their children about a god and what may or may not happen when you die, but unfortunately it doesn’t stop there, they have to teach them about the bigotry and gods special bias towards americans and how the earth was created in 6 days etc etc.

We just have to hope that when the child grows up, they will use their brain to think rationally, but I just feel bad for the ones that are so deep into it they can’t come out.

What do you think about religion and raising children?
