Alternative culture: I'm a committed atheist, but my child has become religious – and I'm proud of her for challenging my indoctrination



Recently, I saw an interesting article in the Independent. An atheist write on how she is proud to send her daughter to a Christian school. In fact, both her and her husband did not object to their daughter's conversion to Christianity.

I found it impressive that the couple recognised that belief and non-belief was a matter of choice, and allow their daughter to choose according to her conscience.

Being open-minded
What I admire about this couple is the willingness to accept that their daughter may have a different viewpoint from them, and allowed her to follow through.
