Here’s How Atheist Parents Raise Their Children
July 20, 2017 by Hemant Mehta

Drew McCoy, a YouTuber at Genetically Modified Skeptic, just released an excellent video, in which he spoke with two directors from Camp Quest Texas about how they raise freethinking children and teach kids about religion.

Some of the questions he poses to them include: Aren’t they just indoctrinating kids into atheism? What are the challenges they face as atheist parents? And how do they encourage critical thinking at Camp Quest?



There was a time when resources for non-religious parents were nowhere to be found. But it’s really incredible to see this kind of advice on YouTube, through books, and on websites.


My favorite quote in the video (at about the 3:50 mark): "We don't teach our children what to think, we try to teach them how to think."
