How do you guys protect you kids from Atheism.

I do it by taking my kid to church every Sunday

Aww. You're a good daddy.If I ever have kids, I would take them to Church every Sunday, put them in Religious classes,read the bible and pray every night.

Thank you, and that's smart

That depends, there is no real way to protect them from atheism.
Taking them to church does work, but if there comes a time that my child doesn't believe in God, I would respect that.

I could see why a child wouldn't believe in god at some points, because their just kids, they don't know what most of the stuff in the bible means

I should say teenagers. By the time I was 13 or 14, I knew what i believed, I'm now a firm Roman Catholic.
Pope Benedict.

Teenagers now days haven't been taught right, and most teens don't believe in God

I don't think relgion should be forced.Let it come to the child.
I just had an argument over on City Data about this same topic.

I know everyone should have their own opinion, but you know what i mean :)

I would say teach them religion but, not too much. Don't force them to go to a religious school. I say just teach them the word of God and pray with them.

Most people I know who went to Religious schools don't have religion anymore or don't actively seek it.

I was brought to church when I was younger so by the time I was old enough to make my choice I found my religion. I was never forced to believe in God or put into school. I know most of the reason people lose religion is because of people pushing them to it.

I think you should let people create their own opinions, not force it on them. It's like if someone tried to force you to be an atheist, it isn't right.
You can bring them to religion classes and stuff, but you shouldn't force them to believe anything.

kids these days are forcing each other to be athiest

Not true, nobody can force their beliefs on anybody.

They should have that kid suspended.

I think that way to many parents today want control and not to teach and guide their child.

Parents can't force their child to believe in God,you either do or don't, period. You can't protect your child for being non believer. If that's what they are, accept it and move on.

If I had a child that didn't believe in God or the Devil. I wouldn't accept it and move on, I would try to make them believe in them. If you believe in one you must believe in the other.

Make? You can't force anybody to believe anything. Atheist don't believe in God or the Devil. Believing in God is all about faith, faith depends on the person themselves.

i wouldn't force, i would try

Protect? That's like trying to protect people from becoming interested in gaming or protecting them from playing Pokemon.

It's overprotective parents like that which leads to silly things like television broadcasts being very censored or children becoming overdependant on the parents.

I also said try first before I said make. I would take them to a haunted house, graveyard, watch The Passion of Christ with them along a horror movie, go to church, haunted house... stuff like that so they will believe.

People who are atheist either never experienced anything in their lives, they hate their life or their parents/ family members are atheist.
