Howdy y'all. It'll be a few years yet before I really need to make a decision on this but I'd like to hear what you all have to say.
I believe I picked up a lot of good values being raised as a Christian. However, my mom is actually a Christian, so what I learned in church/Sunday school she personally reinforced. I don't think I, being non-religious, would feel right doing the same. I worry that this will either cause confusion in a young child, or if I do try to reinforce what is taught, I'll come across as disingenuous and it'll show.
Anyway, looking forward to any thoughts or advice on how a non-religious person can best instill Christian values and, if anyone has been in a similar situation, when it would be best to start to avoid confusing the child with contradicting ideas.
