Kafka welcome - Conflicting Beliefs and your Children

How did you tell your family that you didn't believe in what they do'? Moreso, how did you convince your family not to brainwash your children with their personal beliefs?

I didn't realize teaching your children your morals or what you believe is right was considered "brainwashing"

I would think this is something you do very delicately.
They are still your family. Just because you believe differently doesn't mean you insult them or hurt their feelings.
Just respectfully tell them you don't share their beliefs.

Islam is not bad. Extremists in any belief system are bad.

Well I didn't, I don't have kids... but my parents didn't go to church when I was little, but I went to Church of Christ with my grandparents til I was around 12... About then my parents told me if I didn't wanna go I didn't have to and to make my own decision... Haven't went since. If you give your kids the opportunity to make up their own mind without shoving either atheism or religion down their throat they'll make the best decision for themselves I believe.
Expose them to both sides... I suggest letting them go to church, but then watching Cosmos with them. Stuff like that.

You sure?
My family is strongly religious and they intentionally impress their beliefs onto my children. The right v. wrong aspect I appreciate, but the whole believe this way or suffer eternally I'm not so keen about.

These aren't opposing views.

Religion is a WHOLE lot more than morals.

Yep.
They're doing what they see is best for the people they love. Nobody wants their loved ones to suffer eternally if that's what they believe will happen to them.

Mom was assembly of god (spoke in tongues) Dad was baptist and didn't go to church
I got about 12 and said it creeped me out and I developed my own personal form of religion after that. I know believe in a correlated creation by design with some religious morals.

Really? Because I'm a Christian and don't find anything about it to be in conflict with my views.

I hated going to church and would always argue over little shite that didn't make sense to me at the time and makes even less sense now, my parents gave up forcing me at 12.
They knew all a long they just never heard me say what I believed till I was 17, at that point my dad didn't care and my mom still loves me even though she thinks I'm wrong so we're good in the hood.
Really depends on your parents I guess, my grandparents were / are Deacons at a pretty big church but no one talks about it we just leave it alone and love each other like family.
Unfortunately this isn't the case for a lot of people.
