I'm not sure what they would be "playing safe". At the core it seems that you view children as property or things you must direct and dictate and own their entire lives. That is very disturbing that you would view your children that way because that's not how I viewed my children. I viewed my children when they were small as helpless little things that it is my job to teach so they can become a responsible independent adults. What they do with their life after they've matured to the point that they can take self responsibility and engage in self-determination is their business and not mine. They may do some things that I agree with and they may do some things I disagree with but regardless of what they do it is their actions and I feel zero responsibility for their outcomes because I know that I trained them to the best of my ability. Now with that training the choices they make in their life are their own. Whether you are a theist an atheist or agnostic there is no denying that Western society was influenced heavily by Christianity. One of the core judeo-christian tenants is stated very clearly, a son will not bear the sins of his father and a father will not bear the sins of his son. I have visited much of the rest of the world where that is not the case. That seems like a horrible cultural injustice done to people to lock them into servitude or to place them above reproach simply because of the actions of their lineage.
