Richard Dawkins launches children's summer base for atheists - The Telegraph
Dawkins sets up kids base to practice atheists - The Become old
Atheist base ghoul not brainwash children - The Become old
I'm all for reason and the providing to carry or not carry anything you affection, but from what I keep up read so far, this base is respectable a not-very-subtle form of training. Open religion is not about belief, it's about values. The insistence on belief in a set of laughable concepts is a Christian weirdness; other religions are larger than about values and practice and culture. I illustration it's a bathos that the analyze has polarised to this size.
Admittedly if it was a covetable along with method my kids to Dawkins' base or method them to the uncomforting Jesus base, I'd opt Dawkins' base every time. Blissfully that is not the assortment and nearby is a big spectrum for kin to opt from. (I don't keep up any kids though.)
But the take is, kids requirement not be indoctrinated here "anything," whether it's atheism or religion. They requirement be limited the tools and concepts to ascertain for themselves for example they're old satisfactory.
Unitarians, Pagans, Wiccans, and other modern devoted types don't carry in indoctrinating children, but part them the tools and concepts to opt their own spiritual path (or not, as the assortment may be).
Patronize atheists come out powerless of understanding the alteration along with modern religion (which is about values and spirituality and community) and the rest.
I tried to appear at Richard Dawkins' website to see what his put up with on the whole thing is, as he has noticeably meant that the Become old matter was fan and gave the inexact circulate, but I can't get here his website at the trice due to a connection blunder.
UPDATE: I keep up now managed to find Richard Dawkins' reminder, in which he says he abhors the training of children. Calm down, part them a fan view that all religion is about having chaotic beliefs, and that reason is the great referee of everything, is a form of training.
