I'm not into main stream religions. I am most comfortable with the Wiccan path although I am no longer actively practising.

I want my children to grow up having a healthy opinion of the religious choices that are out there. But I don't really know enough about them to feel that I can give the correct answers to some questions that have already come up from time to time.

The main thing that comes up is when Evan see's the door knockers. He will ask what they want or what are they doing etc. I have no idea! LOL I know they are just trying to spread the word that they believe in & all that but how do I explain to achild (who has many questions!) the basics of the main religions.

I don't even know the difference between being christain or being catholic!

When Evan did ask I tol dhim its something he best talk to Daddy about because DH does know more about this sort of thing then me. BUT when I was talkign to DH about it he said he would just say they are (the doorknockers) people who like to tell everyone else how they should live.

I was a little shocked & thought that was a rather negative light to shine on it all. I would rather the kids form their own opinion of the different religious groups out there.

I have some pretty negative opinions about some of the religious groups around also so again I am worried that I may shine the wrong light as well, so that added to the fact I would probably give wrong information also leaves me hesitant to answer his questions.

He attends the non scripture class at school as DH feels school is not the place to learn about that. I figured non scripture was the right chice seems Evan isn't a part of the other options.

Now i am wondering if it would actually be a good idea to send him along to a different one each term so he learns a little about them all (well the ones covered at school).

What would you do?
