Do you think that parents should give children the choice of believeing in (god)/having a religion?
--To expand: (based on Catholicism) Having children baptised, having them attend church, Catholic school, etc. vs. exposing children to various gods and cultures/allowing them to make their own decision/not mentioing religion whatsoever and allowing them to make up their own minds as to what to believe in....
I think ultimately that discovering god for oneself is ideal, but if not really pushed (i.e. school, palce of worship, instruction) will the child really come to know/appreciate/discover god?
