Re: atheists camp for kids
Putting aside that this may be a slight exaggeration on the part of our press i don't believe any camp that kids attend should have any religious connatation be it for or against. I would fully support anything that got kids out and about in a positive way but would dearly love religion to be kept out of people's lives until they are old enough to make their own informed choice as to what if any faith they wanted to follow.
For me faith is a personal thing whether you choose to follow one or not and i don't and never have thought it right for ideological groups to in anyway shape or form influence kids to whatever direction. Let kids be kids, let them have their carefree years without getting dragged into things the so called adults cannot even decide to any reasonable certainty or concensus. Our kids have enough to deal with these days without getting involved in things many older people cannot fully understand or debate rationally or peacefully.
