I grew up in a religious family, and I still hold some fo the beliefs that were taught to me. But most of my friends will tell you I am one of the most liberal "religious" people they know. I even hesitate to use to use the word religion because I do not think it accurately describes my beliefs.

I also have a 5 year old son, and I believe I have the right to teach him what I like and share my beliefs with him. Is it brainwashing? NO! No more than it is to brainwash your kids to have manners. But while I choose to share my beliefs with my son, I also make a very conscious decision to tell him there is more than one way to see this world and I will be very mindful to encourage him to draw his own conclusions as he gets older.
