I should probably have clarified it in the first bit that I meant that the kids weren't told anything about religion, not that the kids aren't told anything at all. My point is that there is no indoctrination required to raise a kid without religion, it is the natural state. I and most people I grew up with were raised that way, religion was stories we read about in school, not some magical thing.
- lolinder 3y agoI didn't miss it, I disagree with the idea that it's less indoctrination overall: it's just more homogenous indoctrination. A kid who gets taught religion at home and secular values at school is less indoctrinated than a kid who gets secular values in both places.
- Jensson 3y agoWhat are "secular values"? Do you mean that things like "you shouldn't hurt others" are secular values? Otherwise I don't understand. If that is what you mean then I'm pretty sure that even religious homes teaches secular values.
- mensetmanusman 3y agoIn some areas, secular values are ‘whatever you think about yourself is true’ or ‘you do you’ relativism (apathy).
