yeah...I get that

but more of how to handle it when she is like 6 or 7?

do I tell her "what do you believe?" and if she says she wants to believe in Jesus, then go with it. Which I guess I wouldn't care. But what happens when she asks me about me going to Hell? How do I answer to that?

You need to understand the Christian faith before you start answering questions on it.

What if she asks what happens when you die if there is no god?

Both are disappointing :-)

Hopefully, have a legitimate talk about why you believe what you believe and how that is ok in todays world..

Dude... she's 6 or 7. She isn't going to be so critical of you and religion.
