There is all the difference in the world between teaching children about religion and handing them over to be taught by the religious.

You teach your kids about your beliefs and tell them what you think is right and the conclusions that you've come to from living in the world, and then they can make their own decisions.

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.

I think parents should be able to teach their kids what their faith says, what science says.

I know that what I see in every religious person is not something I want to teach my kids.

Schools ought to teach students to challenge secular ideologies masquerading as science in the classroom.

If children understand that beliefs should be substantiated with evidence, as opposed to tradition, authority, revelation or faith, they will automatically work out for themselves that they are atheists.

I think the main thing for kids is to have them believe in themselves.

Children are free moral agents and have a right to be exposed to a range of beliefs well beyond the rigid doctrinal confines of their parent's faith, and we have an obligation to insist that they be so exposed, at least in public schools, if not elsewhere.

The public schools tend to teach little kids from when they are very young about the whole universe without God and that God cannot be in science. They are indoctrinating children in an atheistic religious view of things.
