You seem to be particularly concerned with the effect of religion on children. As I mentioned in another thread, I am a former Sunday School teacher of a youth group in the United Church of Canada. In our teaching we used to emphasize 3 things:

1. Love - God, themselves and their neighbour

2. Serve or help others, especially those in need. Here we used the 3 "t"'s. They could do this by giving their time, talents and treasure (money).

3. Always tell the truth

Funny, I don't there there is a "GOD" and I teach my children,

1. Love - themselves and their neighbour

2. Serve or help others, especially those in need. Here we used the 3 "t"'s. They could do this by giving their time, talents and treasure (money).

3. Always tell the truth.


No need for me to inject a god or any other unifying force to teach my children how to be good people.
