Well, I'm not really bringing my kid up to be an atheist. I'm bringing her up to think for herself about that kind of thing. It drives me nuts when I see her praying over her meals and stuff, but, as I said, all I tell her is that "she shouldn't do something like that unless she understands it." When she reaches a certain age (she's only 4 now), and asks me "Why don't I go to church?" I will tell her that she is too young. When she is more mature, and is able to better understand things like religion, then I will allow her to go to church if she so chooses. Honestly, I am trying my hardest to bring her up in a way that she is empowered to make intelligent, informed decisions for herself.
