[QUOTE="Kylie, post: 73978981, member: 343110"] If you teach them WHAT to think, then you are indoctrinating them. Raising a child to be Christian is indoctrination. But raising a child to be anti-religion is also indoctrination. if you want to avoid indoctrination, don't teach them what to think. Teach them HOW to think. Teach them how to evaluate evidence, how to think critically. They are, I think, essential skills, and it will serve them when it comes to finding their position on religion as well as everything else they face in life. [/QUOTE]
