would you let your children choose what religion they want to believe in?

Like in the "Life of Pi" novel (and movie).

Absolute freedom. Religion, like anything else, shouldn’t be inferred.

I’m grateful for not being indoctrinated. I was baptized as a baby, but then pondered existence in middle school, which lead me to atheism in high school (a private catholic one 😂). I realized any good morals I developed stemmed from a secular perspective. My best friend is super Christian w...
