It pleases me that my (nearly) 14-year-old granddaughter dares to speak plainly about her attitudes on religion. She feels it is quite daft to believe that there's "an invisible old dude" trying to tell us all how to live. She feels capable of determining right from wrong without input from a deity, having been taught from an early age to do exactly that. As long as she will allow it, or needs it, I will support her efforts to do right because it is right.

Mom said but it's good for you. I said, 'if it's go good for me why do you just drop us off at the door?' My sister's continued but not me.

Atheism is on the rise, big time. I credit the smart phone. Religion is based on ignorance and today's people have the right answers literally in the palm of their hands.

Oh yes, and hers is literally in the palm of her hand most of the time. Typical teenager in that respect, certainly!
It is important that she simply explores the facts as opposed to "The Truth"!

Indeed, and that's part of the guidance I provide. Facts are plentiful and readily available these days, but not very popular in some circles.
