My 8yo son has picked up religion from school
I have three children and I don't talk about religion with them except if they ask me in case I tell them my honest opinion, which is that it's all a fairytale bla bla bla. My 10 yo daughter is a proper atheist with a philosophic interest in religions (mostly fancy stuff like hinduism, budhism etc) and she joins me in mocking religious beliefs all over.
My 6 yo son doesn't speak about religion much as one would expect but my 8yo is turning religious. They all go to a school where there's a class about the predominant religion where I live where they tell them all the usual crap about Jesus and the like and they even take them to church every so often (I can't avoid it cause all schools are like that where I live) and my 8yo has started speaking favorably about the christian religion and I think he actually believes in God.
He even tells us off when we make fun of religion with my daughter. I don't tell him anything because I respect everyone's beliefs and it's his right to believe in religion if he wants to but it struck me as odd that he picked up religion coming from a family such as ours where there's no one religious.
Has something like that ever happened to your own?
