What I'm trying to say as a believer in God I will tell my kid there is a god. Further more my kid has demonstrated a believe in God based on my actions. In a similar way an athiest's actions would more than likely instill a belief into their child that there is no God.
My daughter 'supports' Chelsea. She knows nothing about football, but she boos when Man Utd & Liverpool come on, and she chants all night when Chelsea are playing. I don't have to tell her that CHelsea are the best team in the premiership -albeit a little unlucky this season
, she just knows it from watching her dad watch football.
I believe in God so I won't tell my daughter there might not be a God. Why should I be accused of brainwashing her because I believe in something. You(not you specifically but Im talking generally here) might not believe in God, so you wont tell your kid that God might exist.
Where's the difference between not telling someone that something might exist just because it's debateable as opposed to telling someone something might exist even tho it is debateable.
