This is part of a strip by The Oatmeal. While I love the sentiment, my experience has been that if you're wishy-washy about your own beliefs, or absence of beliefs, somebody else in your kid's life won't be so shy. It's easy to forget that kids have little frame of reference to decide what is real and what is not. Tell your kids what your family's beliefs are or are not. Let them know they can change it later. Faith comes from hearing, and they need to hear from you, because their friends' parents, scout leaders, teachers, bus drivers, etc. are not interested in passing on your beliefs. This is from experience. If you are somehow unfamiliar with The Oatmeal, he's pretty funny and informative. http://theoatmeal.com/
