What, something like saying grace at dinner? Yeah, that never happens. Nobody ever tries to religiously indoctrinate children.

If I have to deal with living in this illogical world, then they can deal with my logical ideas (whenever they have the inconvenience to encounter them) without throwing an entitled hissy fit. In fact, I hope they have a problem, and want to talk to me about it. I'll be glad to have that discussion.

I actively reject the idea that we should tiptoe around people's stupid superstitious hogwashery. It only encourages them.

While I agree that I shouldn't have to tiptoe around other people's stupid ideas; which are stupid to me becasue I don't agree with them, but probably not stupid to other people that agree with them ; I think this is an issue of respect.

It shows respect to to ask if they have a problem with it even if you don't agree with their answer. It also shows respect to save that activity for another time if all parents aren't 100% on board. see what i did thar
