I did not ask the question 'in a certain way' you are only seeing what you WANT to see. If you were unsure you could have asked first instead of assuming what I was doing.
Anyway I don't suppose there is any point in discussing it.

The point I'm making - as Chris summed up- is that we teach kids alot of things including religion. They can be taught without religion being included but some people choose to teach religion too. I teach my daughter not to run across the road out side my house - I don't need to use religion to make that point. Similary good table manners are taught without any mention of religion, am I brainwashing my daughter in that aspect too.
Why should a parent teaching a child about religion be accused of brainwashing there kids. I can then apply the same argument taht anything I teach a child is brainwashing them. I hope that makes it clear.
Anyway I'm off now. Probably contribute later to this thread, but once more if I sounded like an arrogant twit in my original reply to your post it was genuinely not intented.
Cheers.

It makes no odds to me WHAT you or anyone teach their kids. In the end it's none of my business.
As long as you are looking after them, loving them and treating them right there are a lot worse things you can teach them than a religious viewpoint.
Me, I don't teach my boy that.
I DO teach him moral views and how to treat people correctly.
I also tell him that I'm not sure there is a god etc, but he's taught at school there is. So I tell him that is up to him to decide.
Anyway, as always just my 2p
