    About this ebook

    In a nation where religion plays such a big role, how can you raise a child without God? How do you instill morality, answer questions about mortality, and handle believers who expect to get a one-way ticket to heaven by converting you? Deborah Ann Mitchell, who has blogged and written columns on the subject, provides guidance to agnostics and atheists struggling with how to assert their beliefs in a reasoned, nonconfrontational, and honest manner.

      I received this book from the Goodreads First Reads program.

      This is an excellent introduction to raising kids without embracing a particular religion. It's very gently put, focusing on what's best for the children and building/maintaining positive relationships. I can totally see parents returning to this volume for ideas and suggestions. It would also be a good resource for religious friends or family members who're worried about children in their lives being raised without religion.

      A lot of what's in this book is pretty obvious to me, but I don't run in religious social circles, so I don't encounter the push-back a lot of other irreligious folks have to face.
