When have I suggested that?

I think a healthy child should be brought up understanding and being tought about all world religions, about religious history, about non religion, about freethought and critical and rational thinking.

I want a child to grow up having the chance to decide for themselves when they are old enough to decide for themselves, and that I have exposed them to as much variety of information and experiences as I can.

Because ultimately a child brought up aggressively as an atheist is no better than a child brought up aggressively as a christian.

A child should be exposed to much more and given a chance to grow up and decide their own ideals/beliefs as they get closer to adulthood.

A child can't decide whether jesus or santa is real. As parents we should be giving them a chance to learn and decide for themselves, not forcing them into a pigeon hole at a young age.
