Subject: RE: BS: Militant atheism has become a religion
I had my children christened. I support local traditions and older family felt more comfortable with it.

It doesn't make them Christians. They couldn't speak and ga goo isn't exactly informed consent.

Another local tradition is Morris dancing. Those who introduce their children to that tradition don't to my knowledge say their kids buy into ancient fertility and harvest assurance.

Kids want to emulate their parents. Hence be careful what gets hard wired into them. My lads are as trapped as I am in supporting a football team that doesn't offer much in terms of success but they like me are trapped anyway.

Same with religion.
