I tell my children what I think myself: That religion is not necessarily convincing, but it is still interesting and not to be laughed at or denigrated.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
My children, to the extent that they have found religion, have found it from me, in that I insist on at least a modicum of religious education for them.
From a young kid, I was quite interested in religion.
I find the whole business of religion profoundly interesting. But it does mystify me that otherwise intelligent people take it seriously.
As a child, the conversations that I liked to have with my friends - or with anyone, for that matter - were always about religion.
I just hate one-dimensional portrayals of religion; it's too cheap and easy to do, and ignores the nuances that go into having a belief system.
I've never had any religion. I'd prefer it if I did, really. Even as a boy I just couldn't make myself believe.
I'm fascinated by religion, but I'm not particularly religious.
Religion, you know, enters very deep; in reality it is the deepest impression I have in speaking to people, that they are or that they are not of my religion.
I took religion much too seriously, however, and its overall effect was depressing. I would have really liked to discard it, but somehow I couldn't.
I know that what I see in every religious person is not something I want to teach my kids.
