The world of religion isn't a logical world; that's why children like it. It's a world of worked-out fantasies, very similar to children's stories or fairy tales.

People know they are lacking something, they are constantly wanting some kind of spiritual guidance.

If they take their children to doctors, they believe they are putting their faith in man instead of in God.

Religious fanatics want people to switch off their own minds, ignore the evidence, and blindly follow a holy book based upon private 'revelation'.

Children touch all of our lives. We all have the opportunity to sow seeds into the next generation, and there's nothing more important that we can leave on this earth than a legacy of faith, hope, and confidence in our God.

Children are apt to live up to what you believe of them.

If you've ever questioned your faith, you're going to question it when you are burying your own children.

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

The kids from the streets don't want preaching or messages. They want what they can identify with. They want to hear about the reality of their situation, not fairy tales. They don't care if it's ugly; they just want reality.

Many people want to send their children to faith schools because they get good exam results, but they're not foolish enough to believe that it's because of faith that they get good exam results.
