Religious people groom their children to believe what they do

So in essence you are going to teach your child to be a free thinker, which is an ideology. When another child aproaches your child with the classic "do you believe in jesus?" Your child will say "who?" Hear out the other and make a decision in that moment.

If you had set up your child to be unconvinced of claims without facts. Youve groomed an athiest. Its not directly intentional but you 100% groomed your kid into a particular manner of thinking.

Everyone does this its unavoidable. Even if you never spoke a word to your child. Theyd pick up your mannerisms and beliefs by simple mirrorism.

Obviously grooming has negative connotations which is what i assume you take issue with. but the word can be and has been used innocuously such as this example from dictionary.com

DuBois and Dickerson weren’t necessarily groomed for this job, a change from how evening anchors were selected in the past. — Brian Steinberg, Variety, 2 Apr. 2025
