So, my husband is an atheist through and through, who holds science almost as a religion. Both he and my daughter seem to be closely related personality wise. I am spiritual but not religious, and educated my daughter on all kinds of philosophies. I was very open about what people believe, how respectful we need to be, etc.
Now, my 4 year old son has a classmate who is very religious and my son comes home talking about the christian God often. This sets an alarm in my hiusband's brain. He feels our son will be manipulated and made to integrate into christian society (he was brought up in a very strict christian family). My daughter keeps insisting on her dad's views, and tries to instruct her brother to not believe in anything.
I want to encourage him to think critically and think for himself, to research what there is and to come up with his own reasoning that fits who he is. Any additional ideas and suggestions about how to raise a healthy boy with kindness and armed with knowledge of every culture so he can make an informed choice when he is older is welcome.
