Am finding it increasingly difficult with DS1 and approaching school in Sept to 'tackle' the christian beliefs he seems to be coming home from nursery with....I don't want to directly tell him I don't believe in God/heaven/Garden of Eden and all the other fairytales that they claim are necessary for 'morality'...but feel I should do something about it in a non-confrontational way (Mother-in-law is very catholic and keeps giving him Jesus at Easter sticker books with peel off crucifixes which I find terrifying and abhorrent) - I'm polite her her/others but my stomach churns at the 'brainwashing' and I feel he can learn his morality in better ways. Any ideas from humanist/atheist/philosophical parents in how to teach alongside this pervading ideology which seems to be the lore in the market town where I live?
