Oops...let me clarify

Instead of studying this morning while my kids are at school, I began to read some of my previous posts. I am a terrible procrastinator and any excuse to continue my procrastination is eagerly met by me :) Thus, a new blog post.

I noticed in my last post I spoke of "atheist-parenting." That term is very misleading and I apologize. The only thing that could be meant by that is that I am both an atheist and a parent. After all, the only thing atheists necessarily have in common is our absence of beliefs in god or gods. There is not a special dogma we all follow in regards to how we live our lives.

I should have said secular parenting instead of atheist parenting. This would be a more accurate description of my parenting techniques. My parenting methods are not based on any religion.

I'm going to claim that I had a brain fart when I wrote that last post :) Hopefully this will clear that up. I didn't want people to start claiming that there is some atheist parenting agendaLOL.

Agreed, and for exactly that reason. I try to make the same distinction whenever I can.
