Because, Raggy, many people view faith as a tradition, a way of living - not as a list of doctrines to be imposed. Families can't raise their children in a vacuum, concealing their traditions lest those traditions offend outsiders. You're looking at faith as ideology. I'm saying that may not be an accurate perception of what faith is. Faith is a context within which people live their lives, explore the wonders and mysteries of life, and mark the joys and tragedies of life.

If I live a life of faith that is meaningful and not just a shallow ideology, how can I shelter my children from it? And why?
