If i was to get lucky and have kids
I would focus on teaching them how to think instead of indoctrinating them on a single narrative before they can even tell right from wrong, after they become responsible for themselves then they can follow whatever they want it's thier choice now

Not explicitly atheist. I don't want them to feel like they have to hide themselves their whole childhood. They'll put 2 and 2 together when they're grown enough

I will not raise them in any fixed set of beliefs. I will make sure that they know what's factual, emphasize critical thinking and a broad understanding of the world. Then they can make their own decision on what they'd like to believe in.

I am not planning on have them luckily. But if I ever make the mistake on bringing them into this life then definitely, why would I raise them into a religion I know is pure evil.

Always been a hard question to be fair, I mean if I had a choice, sure, why would I raise them any different?
But at this point, I'm more convinced about just not having kids anyway.

Algeria doesn't really give us a choice in this matter, from age 4 to 18 they got science islamique hammered into their heads at school

i will avoid raising them in this country ,i want my kids to grow up without being indoctrinated ,i want to teach them how to be a decent human being first, being loving and caring and accepting of other's beliefs and being tolerant and above all teach them to think critically and not buying into these narratives, make them read about all religions ,and if they feel like becoming christians or buddhists im okay with that lol i want them to choose what to believe in ,what is aligned with our values ,live freely and happily without the constant weight of guilt and fear of jahannam and that fuuckery ,the only way to do that is outside this country,because they will be indoctrinated in schools ,by their friends, neighboors, there is no escape of that nasty influence
