As a firm supporter of Dawkins, I agree with almost all of what he has to say. Yes, indoctrinating children into the lives of their parents can be very much akin to brainwashing. However, I do not see what is wrong with taking your children to church. My opinions on the subject are a little mixed at the moment. I'm not sure if I support a secularist ideology, or a downright "atheist and proud" one. l would say that parents should be careful when teaching these things to their children.

On the other hand, lots of parents teach their children that Santa Claus exists, and they eventually grow out of it. Surely teaching them that God exists as a child cannot be harmful, as they will make up their own mind about it when they are older.
