1. There is really no exact answer to this. Quite probably you would not be a theist. However, you would have to weigh up the attractions of theism, love of your parents & keeping your peers happy!

2. I fully see where Rick’s ‘coming-from’ but hopefully by their young teens they will start to think-for-themselves, I did! With the help of Science and the Apollo missions, I suddenly saw that the church and religion in-general had conned and lied to me for years..

   • Oh yes, I hope too. The problem is, once they get indoctrinated at….six, it’s a rarity they break out of the cage when they hit teenage years. Daily brainwashing of scary stories of burning forever, kept me up at night. It was only after I skipped church and learned to question that I was able to break out myself. I’m not the rule though. I’m the exception.
