Why indeed.

Sadly, but not surprisingly, the motivation is self-centered. They are indoctrinating their children because of THEIR religious fanaticism, and using them to create the world THEY want. It's sick. It's child abuse. I will say no more about it.

But hello Pie (and Meiso). I've NEVER met a 3rd-generation atheist. I would also be proud. My father, also an atheist, never really told my Catholic mother that he was one. After married, however, the separation began. That rift forced me and my siblings to jump to one side or the other, and despite my mother's almost desperate attempts (that are still going on!), we all jumped, at least philisophically speaking, to my father's side. Not ONE of the six children are true believers, but we are all confirmed Catholics. I think I have to go to through the Vatican to be excommunicated; I don't like the idea of being "confirmed," even if it's only symbolic. Think of it like removing a big tattoo that your mom gave you.
