I’m a christian. And I will always be a christian. Right now yes my children do go with us to church. But never would I love my children any different if one day the told me they have other beliefs. I don’t thinking not letting ur kids play with the neighborhood kids cause they are not christian is right. Like why. So many turned their back to Jesus but he never judged those who did so. When my children have friends over and my husband and I are reading or praying or my children are praying we will do so and if the other children don’t then so be it. They are allowed to have other beliefs. Open your bible to a number of verses one that comes to mind is Luke 6:35-36 John 15:12-13. John 3:18. One of my favorites. You should live your life with the same understanding and willing to love another person. No matter what they believe in. Live your life as Jesus did and stop treating those who don’t have the same beliefs as ours. Love everyone. And let kids be kids trust me they will have friends at some point in their life who are not believers. Open your doors and heart the same way Jesus open the doors to everyone.

Kids should know & learn that the world is diverse. Sounds like OP needs a lesson in it.
It is important for kids to get outside of bubbles to learn what is out in the world. Some of my best, lifetime friends are Jewish and I’ve had close relationships with Muslims. I’m a Christian but I was taught in my Christianity to love everyone. So that’s how I’ve lived and taught my kids to live.

Wow Jesus associated with everyone. I’m a Christian and I let my children play with all types of kids. Thats shallow , judgemental and religious. God hates religion. He wants relationship not religion. You’re children could be a positive influence on them. If you force religion on your kids they will run from it later in life. I did for yrs… thank God I’m not running anymore but this is just… Pathetic… signed, a God fearing, loving, worshipping, praying mama.

As a pagan, we are more likely to be hurt by you Christians than us hurting you. Our most basic rule is to harm none. And those kids probably wouldn’t ever consider bringing up any gods they may or may not worship. How about you do a little research on the pagan belief? There are pagans who believe in multiple gods, pagans who only follow the earth and her energies and believe it or not Christian pagans. What was it Christ said? Love thy neighbor as thyself? And what rule is in the Bible? Judge not or ye shall be judged thrice fold of the original sin? In your prejudice and ignorance you are only harming yourself and your kids. Shame on you.

They’re kids, they’re probably not even talking about that and if they are? Why does it have to be a huge deal?
Not going to try to be rude but at the same time this enrages me. I have 2 daughters and I decided that religion is important but it is also important for my daughters to chose what religion they want. I will not baptize my children. They will chose that on their own when they are much older and truly understand. Not just do it because “mom says so”. I was not given a choice and was baptized before I was a month old. I was forced to go to church Sundays, Thursday’s etc. It ruined it for me and I don’t want that for my daughters. I will support them with any religion they chose and have no problem answering questions about church etc to my girls. Anyways…… We lived in a Mormon community once. My daughters had friends at school. They stated best friends until their parents found out my children and I were not Mormon. They directed their children to completely ignore my daughters and they could no longer be friends. It hurt my little girls so bad. Tears and breakdown’s. All because of what? I don’t go to the same church? I was baptized catholic but never have I pushed what I was taught to a child nor has it ever came up in conversation with a child…… let children be children. Children should be able to experience different religions, traditions, races etc. Parents teach hate. Children do not come with a ounce of hate for another race, religion so on and so forth. It is taught to hate. And honestly not allowing your children to be around other children that aren’t in the same religion as you shows your child to hate. It is wrong on so many levels. If your doing it right with your values with your children you should not have any worry at all. Just my 2 cents. 
So what about school kids? How do you handle that?
I grew up in that kinda house, not allowed to talk/play with anyone not in the cult. It was TERRIBLE and I was so resentful of the rules and restrictions. Contact for kids with their peers is critical and if you want them to grow up well adjusted you have to allow them some freedoms no matter what your beliefs. Let kids be kids

I follow no religion at all. My child goes to family day which is ran by a Punjabi family who are Sikhs. You would not believe how far she has come since starting there, not only that she is learning about other people’s beliefs & learning to speak another language which us as parents would never be able to do as we speak english only.

Kids dnt usually push religious beliefs, but I would honestly either have an adult civilized conversation with the parents to see where they stand or just monitor their play time to see what goes on. Most rational people have their beliefs but dnt necessarily shove it down other people’s throats. Also u have to allow your kids to have an understanding of different religions and ways of life. Ultimately they are going to be their own person whether u like it or not

Keeping them away from any outside influence and allowing them to form their own opinions is a sure fire way of them growing to most likely hate their religion.

Your their mama and it’s ur religion understood. But letting the children learn see how others live and different cultures/religions will actually help change the world. These kids need to learn and see. I am Muslim and raise my kids like wise. I have had pagan/jewish neighbors. My sister is straight Christian and the other is atheist. That’s their life. Use this as a educational point to remind your kids of their Lord. I don’t think kids will be discussing God tho. It’s time for kids to be kids
I understand u are Christian but there are different faiths out there and to avoid others because their faith is different isn’t very Christian. U just teach ur kids everyone is different and has different faiths that other religions are different in their own way. I was raised catholic but I dont follow that im pagan. pagans won’t shove their beliefs down anothers throat like some religions out there does because they think if its not their faith then its wrong. Im not bashing another religion thats just what i have delt with because i wasn’t that persons religion i was considered wrong and an evil person… Ppl think just because someone is pagan they are a bad person or evil and thats not the case. Pagans are some of the nicest people and they won’t try to influence another but will answer questions ppl might have about them… They are kids let them play just because a person has different beliefs doesn’t mean u can shelter ur kids from it. They are going to meet others with different beliefs. Eventho i am pagan we aren’t raising our kids pagan or under any religion. We are just guiding them to be good ppl and when they are older they can decide their own religious path… Just cuz we follow a religion im not gonna make my kids follow my beliefs. One day they may not decide to continue following ur religious path but might explore a different path one day when they are older. There is nothing wrong with that because everyone has their beliefs if ur kids have questions answer those questions without judgement or bashing another religion. That’s really all u can do because ur religion isn’t the only religion out there. There are other religions whether u agree with them or not. U don’t want to teach ur kids discrimination against other ppl just cuz their religion is different.

What’s best is to teach your children Christian values. Teach them acceptance and love and how to be good humans no matter what religion they are. What will it hurt for your children to ask questions and understand others. We don’t discriminate In our home. And fyi during confirmation class we were taken by our Lutheran pastor to other churches for service to note and see the differences and ask questions and become full of knowledge. Last I knew I was still Christian, I didn’t turn out bad oh heavens I have a Wiccan friend and I have a Baptist friend and low and behold I have a friend who attends Latter Day Saints church. Guess we figured out what type we are gonna have to deal with.

I hardly doubt witchcraft would be discussed with your child… More than likely you…
About the only time I remember
"Friends " in a conversation about god was if he existed and my friend said she didn’t believe…
We went to visit and her mom and mine were Praying so I didn’t understand why she said she didn’t believe…
Maybe she thought because of God is why her life was going through q hard time…
But i also didn’t push or say anything about the Prayers between our mom’s.
We are supposed to love and accept everyone and I do not believe in judging people, everyone will have that day when they die. Jesus died for everyone’s sins, not for a particular religion. I know we want to protect our children at all costs but if you teach them to love the lord, not religion they will be fine. Children do not understand religion and will most likely not be talking about it. As parents it’s our job to make sure our kids feel comfortable talking to us about anything so if questions arise they’ll always feel comfortable coming to us about anything!

Have you talked to these people about their belief system? I honestly think you are being presumptuous about what their faith is. Just because they have a pagan sticker on their car doesn’t always mean what you think it means. Talk to the family and get to know them before you pass any kind of judgment.

Imagine thinking this is something to be worried over. This is an opportunity to teach your kids about other faiths and how to be respectful of others. You can’t shield them from different religions, opinions, sexual orientations, for the rest of their lives. You CAN teach them how different the world is and how amazing it is that people from all religions, ethnicities, etc. can come together as one and be friends without having to agree on everything. AKA raising them to be tolerant and not ignorant. Idk why I’m explaining this to a Christian though, you’re literally suppose to love thy neighbor and instead you’re fearful of them because they prossibly have different religious views than you.

Teach your children tolerance & acceptance. Let them play with these children. If anything comes up explain it in a way that supports your beliefs as well as is respectful of their beliefs. I was brought up Lutheran/Catholic I had friends that were Buddhist, Jehovah witnesses, Jewish etc growing up. I witnessed rituals, saw statues & other religious paraphernalia. When I was curious my questions were answered simple & respectfully. The only issue we ever had was a baby sitter who tried to force her religion on me. She made me sit through some kind of ceremony every morning, gave me books, made me memorize stuff, banned anything with certain characters (like smurfs) & products (crest toothpaste) because somehow by me using them I was violating her religion. My mom took me to my pastor for counseling then quickly found another baby sitter. Bottom line don’t look for a problem before it comes up. If 1 does then deal with it or seek help from your religious leader. Chances are they just want to play.
Everyone has an opinion and has a right to their opinion…
But is this question a serious question??
I grew up in a Catholic school, mom was Christian dad was Baptist… Guess what!?! Lol I don’t claim a religion but I believe in GOD… I don’t attend a church regularly especially since the pandemic but still… I also have 5 kids and 1 I believe might be Atheist she’s 22, my 21 year old only goes to church to get her grandma to leave her alone and they attend The Church Of Christ (I believe they might be Christian not sure) my 16 year old wants to attend Church on a regular and that’s a Catholic Church… my son is 14 and chooses to not attend and my 3 year old well she’s too young to decide for herself and yes all 5 was raised by me… moral of the story is it don’t matter what religion you choose for your kids because one day they will lead with their own footsteps as you probably did… let those kiddos play with whomever as long as they’re not being harmed… I wish you the best!
