My wife's family is also Christian (but Catholic, in comparison to my Baptist family) and so my kids get incidental exposure to Christian ideas. But I don't tell them that the ideas are true. I kind of hope they see them like all of the other stories they know: as stories, with useful ideas. I try to as much as possible demonstrate humanitarianism in how I treat them and others. I try to teach them self-reflection and gratitude, which I think are some of the most important aspects of prayer. I also try to give them perspective on differentials in privilege. But this is all a lot to try to create and teach independently. We have a lot of friends and relatives we see often, but I wouldn't say we have anything quite like what you get with a church. I've considered trying out a Unitarian Universalist church (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unitarian_Universalism). But there's not one that's close enough to me to motivate me to make it part of my routine. |
