I grew up with my parents trying to force me to be religious. Sent me to religious school from K-12 and went to temple a lot (Jewish). As someone who naturally gravitated toward problem solving and logic (engineer), I was always skeptical of religion and the more I learned about it the more I was exposed to things that just made no logical sense and it became pretty obvious to me early on that this is all stuff that some group of people made up a while ago and I don't need to base my life around it. Furthermore, I don't need religious text to teach me how to be a good person. For example on "holy" days where the community spends all day in temple reciting the same prayer 50 times over and over again, I would much rather volunteer at a soup kitchen or maybe plant trees or do community service, that is much more rewarding to me than praying to something that no one even knows exists. That being said, I don't care if anyone else wants to be religious, I am not trying to convert anyone to atheism, as long as their beliefs don't pour over into my life. This is where tension has built up with my mom who continues trying to force me to be religious even as I am into my 30s now. I do not try to convince her to be atheist so I don't understand why she feels she needs to force it upon me. We don't really talk much anymore because of it which is a shame because otherwise we got along. Anyway, I hope you let your child choose whatever path he/she decides is best without forcing anything upon him/her.
