Well obviously, children need guidance and direction at that age, but what I'm getting at is the difference between teaching a child what to think versus teaching a child how to think.

On a personal note, my mother is Christian, and I'm very thankful that she chose the later option of the two I mentioned above. She gave me a chance to grow and look at the evidence for myself, rather than teach me at a young age "the truth".
