Where exactly is this Atheist place of non-worship that kids are dragged along to?

How can an Atheist force anyone to 'not' believe in something?

Check previous question for answers which equate religious indoctrination of children to other families where god is optional.

  1. They cannot provided that the atheist family would be open minded enough to allow their child to investigate religion if that was their child's wish. It makes me proud to say that every atheist I have met would allow such.

    Furthermore a secular education and upbringing would set a child in stead so that they would approach any religion from a truly unbiased perspective allowing them to honestly choose the religion that is most meaningful to them (if they choose any at all).

    In every way a secular upbringing is the most beneficial to the child.


  2. Any parents of any religion (or irreligion) can brainwash their children, removing their free will, if the parent is a forceful enough personality and the child believing enough.  

  3. Peace and blessings be upon you.

    As long as the person live in the society , he will think and judge either with educational background or not.


  4. its not possibly to brainwash kids into not believing something...

    i challenge any parent to try to convince a child that trees don't exist... or dogs or the moon...  go ahead it wont work

    why... because there is evidence for those things

    evidence even a child can see

  5. Granted you can't brainwash someone into not believing something

    but you can brainwash them into believing anyone that believes it is an idiot and make them afraid to admit they are drawn to it (if they ever are that is).
