hmm.. after reading the article again I realized that I remembered it incorrectly.
The article does say that: “Model a good relationship with your faith and how you live in your faith community (be that your church or your co-op food depot) and trust that children will be influenced by your good example..”
But then ends that paragraph with:
“..even if that means they don't want to come to church or synagogue, mosque or temple for a few years.”
The article's main thrust was that religion relies on fear tactics and that if you have a strong value in the family it tends to polarize the children.
So, like the serpent, the argument has just enough truth in it to sound plausible but then mixes in a lot of error.
I don’t have time to write about that right now... have to make lunch for my husband who is going to be here soon.
