Unless you actually live in our homes you really don't know the truth. I don't feel the need to constantly talk about God daily to my kids. They are not forced to "read jesus stories" either. Some kids just feel the need on their own to read such and many of them are in homes where the parents are not believers.
Oh really? And where do you suppose these little children are getting their speciality bibles in the first place? Who exactly is pushing all this stuff on them in the first place? Are they seeking it out themselves at the age of 8 or younger? LOL!

What is the difference of a Christian parent indoctring their children to believe in God and a non-Christian parent indoctring their children to not believe? Nada.
I don't recall any great atheist movement. The religious are the only ones who care one way or another. Perhaps you think learning science in school is your idea of indoctrination but it's not. That's just basic education. There's a major difference.

Wow. Really. And FYI, kids that age have already read Winnie the Pooh.


My kids are learning all sciences be it evolution, big bang theory, etc. or chemicals and such. I don't have a problem with them learning any of it. I actually prefer they know more about it than those that believe some those theories of how mankind came into being. Don't try to pigeon hole all people that are Christians with your assumptions. Not all of us are as you assume.

If we follow your logic, all parents who give their kids "Winnie the Pooh" are also indoctrinating them. Give it up.
