If you are of a religious persuasion.
The problem is that, right now, there are parents bringing their kids up to believe in Alusi, Banaitja, Shiva, Vishnu, Shakti, Amaterasu-Ō-Mi-Kami etc.....
Presumably you don't believe in any of those deities/gods?
What makes
you think that you are correct in
your choice of god and hence what you are teaching your kids to believe in?
Presumably it's your faith that makes you believe you are correct to do so but you have no
proof to show the rest of us that you are correct in your actions as a parent. Hence we (and Dawkins) question the validity of your parenting where it pertains to religion.
