Children do not need a parent who is certain. They need a parent who is honest and calm in uncertainty.

I think some of my own hesitation comes from a sense that if I express my own doubts about this faith, it may belie my attempts to teach it to them.

My own parents were (and are) very certain about their belief. I think that was beneficial to me when I was young. I wonder how I would have felt about this faith if they had been doubtful of it.

Should you tell your children if you stop believing in God?
