      That's a dicey question. People have been saying "just tell your child facts about religion, don't push your opinion", but I feel like it's borderline impossible for a religiously devoted person to talk objectively about their religion, especially to a child.

        Sorta, but I mean taking your kids to your religious activities on some level is fine, kinda as social activity, but if they tell you they rather won’t you should accept it (prolly in teen years?). It is kinda passing I guess :thonk:

          Yeah, this seems to be a consensus. Don't push your ideas onto your kids. Try to raise a capable person, but a good parent and they'll be able to decide for themselves and make the right decision when they've grown up.

          That sounds great, but probably only works out if surrounding culture is conductive to those ideas. Like if you were to raise a kid in my small Russian town, they are probably going to grow up homophobic, unless you do a fair bit of evangelism of opposite ideas.
