Not take my dd to church

[muttmad]

Inspired by another thread, i realised i have the opposite problem, since starting school, my daughter has been introduced to religion, its not a faith school but they do the daily act of worship thing and have learnt about god and Jesus etc, my DD has several times asked why we don't go to church and has asked for me to take her.... AIBU to not go? Im a non believer and look forward to a quiet day on a Sunday, lie in, spending time with the kids, walking the dogs etc i really don't want to be getting up early, dressing up and sitting in a cold church.
I know she should be able to make her own mind up about religion and I've resisted the temptation to tell her what i really think but should i suck it up and take her or just explain that mummy doesn't believe in that sort of thing and its a load of bollocks so i don't want to go!

Not a faith school but does daily worship? Is that normal?

Yes, unfortunately.

I asked about this when looking at primary schools. They are all meant to do a daily act of worship. The school I have applied for told me that they only say a quick prayer when OFSTED are in!

Thanks.

Did not know that!

Certainly doesn’t happen at the school mine go to thankfully.

Ofstead might pick up on that so do not be surprised if it changes

My young cat is suffering from end stage cancer and I am waiting for the vet to come.

Both this & my job at the hospital have convinced me that if god exists he must be a psychopath.

I certainly would be discouraging a child of mine from 'worshipping' such a cruel god.

If she's still asking in a few years, you might have to make the effort to go.

I said might.
To be fair, nothing made me disbelieve in religion more than the church. If she's still asking to go at 10 or 11 a good dose of fire and brimstone might knock it out of her.

I'm not a Christian but there is a local baptist church I sometimes attend if I'm feeling a bit depressed because all the singing cheers me up.

Could you make a project of taking her to different places of worship or find a nice supportive church with a good Sunday school and other activities?
