I don’t think I can ever let my parents know I’m an atheist and with that seems to go my chance of having kids.

Which got me curious: can any irreligious people on here who have kids while having religious parents share what thats like?

Would love to hear your stories or thoughts on this in general.

    They also told the kid that Santa is basically a fun game people play. It’s not literally true but don’t spoil it for other kids.

    If anyone thinks they are special, cause they were the kid who knew Santa wasn’t real at the young age, then I’m sorry to break it to you but all kids know that, they just play along to get gifts

      When I was about 10 a kid on my block only found out that Santa wasn’t real when he was 13. This sent some ripples through the neighborhood families cause he was now also doubting God. So all the good little Christian parents sat down their kids and reassured them that Santa was fake but Jesus was real. 20 years later I’m an agnostic atheist.
