Our family was also banned from neighborhood carpools, and the neighborhood kids threw rocks at us. All this happened after my father asked my elementary school teacher not to open the school day with the Lord's Prayer. Our family learned its lesson and kept quiet after that. Soon we moved to a new town and started over. Things are much better now, because there is more acceptance of religious diversity, and because of brave people like you who speak out about your atheism. But I still remember those mean people.

I have the same problem, being a trained Astrophysicist and father of three little girls (2, 5 and 7). My wife is a catholic raised "parttime Buddhist" (her own words), and my parents are nominal catholics who have never shown any particular interest in religion. Recently, however, they chickened out when the kids began to ask questions about god. At Kindergarten/School they are confronted with religion classes and a certain level of indoctrination, and I fear that what they slowly loose faith in is the mental sanity of grown ups. I myself (who has long left church) remember sunday school in preparation of the first communion. I was 8. The teacher insisted that the Jona and the whale story was literally true. She was unimpressed by my ramblings on mammalian digestive tracks... It was an absolute shock for me that a person could believe such a thing. It is equally shocking for the grown up cosmologically trained scientist I became that people believe in God at all - and base their DECISIONS on that belief. Keep going - Greetings from Europe.
