I'm an atheist dad. Let me start by saying that I don’t know too many atheists who are concerned that their kids don’t believe in god. Most of us are way more concerned about teaching them how to think, not what to think. When our son was your son’s age, we gave him children’s books that taught critical thinking. Stuff like Dan Barker’s Maybe Yes, Maybe No.
That said, there are some religious beliefs that are directly harmful, and need to be addressed immediately. In my son’s case it was the fear of hell. He had some friends that were being raised in Cristian homes. So, of course, he was exposed to Christian concepts. He knew (as well as a ten-year-old can) that we were committed to raising him to arrive at his own beliefs. But he was genuinely scared. I thought it was important to show him that his fears of hell were unfounded. I asked him if he was scared of the Islamic hell. He said no. I asked him if he was worried that he might get reincarnated as a bug after he died (many of his friends are Hindu). He chuckled and said no. After a bit he got it.
I haven't needed such a resource, because I'm an adult, but I always thought this book might be useful: https://www.amazon.ca/Maybe-Yes-No-Guide-Skeptics/dp/0879756071/ref=sr_1_1?crid=308T5KHWESGZ9&keywords=maybe+yes+maybe+no&qid=1668334470&qu=eyJxc2MiOiIwLjAwIiwicXNhIjoiMC4wMCIsInFzcCI6IjAuMDAifQ%3D%3D&sprefix=maybe%2520yes%2520mayb...
> I am just not sure the best way to go about any of this.
Be honest, and teach critical thinking, and the rest will take care of itself. there a bunch of good books that are age-appropriate. Maybe Yes, Maybe No: A Guide for Young Skeptics is a good example.
We're atheists, so my son was raised on a non-religious environment. When he was about that age he had questions about hell, death, etc. from friends, schoolmates, and media. We, like others here, told him that no one knows what happens after death. But the time to believe something is when it's indicated by evidence.
This is a good time to start teaching children critical thinking. There are great books on it for kids of all ages, like <em>Maybe Yes, Maybe No</em> by Dan Barker.
Our jobs as parents isn't to teach them what to think, but how to think. With a good epistemological toolbox, kids are more prepared for the real world.
Be honest. We don't know. Couch it in language a 5-year-old understands. Explain what some people think, and what others think.
This is a perfect time to teach critical thinking skills. Look into Dan Barker's Maybe Yes, Maybe No: A Guide for Young Skeptics. A book in his Maybe Guides.
The key is to not to teach you kids what to think, but how to think.
We didn’t (or tried not to) teach our son anything about religion. We just taught him good critical thinking skills, and skepticism. There are a ton of good books out there for younger kids like Dan Barker’s <em>Maybe Yes, Maybe No: A Guide for Young Skeptics</em>. Part of his Maybe Guides series.
Basically teaching him how to think and not what to think. And we made it clear that good critical thinking isn’t measured by reaching the same conclusions his mom and I have. He’s his own person. And if he comes to hold positions that I don’t, that’s ok.
All that said, he was raised by Humanists, so there’s going to be some “indoctrination” just from being raised in that environment. It would be dishonest to say that you can raise a child in a neutral environment.

Maybe Yes, Maybe No (LINK)
by Dan Barker
In today's media-flooded world, there is no way to control all of the information, claims, and enticements that reach young people. The best thing to do is arm them with the sword of critical thinking.
Maybe Yes, Maybe No is a charming introduction to self-confidence and self-reliance. The book's ten-year-old heroine, Andrea, is always asking questions because she knows "you should prove the truth of a strange story before you believe it."
"Check it out. Repeat the experiment. Try to prove it wrong. It has to make sense." writes Barker, as he assures young readers that they are fully capable of figuring out what to believe, and of knowing when there just isn't enough information to decide. "You can do it your own way. If you are a good skeptic you will know how to think for yourself."
Asking questions is trivially easy. The harder part is getting people to look for evidence for the answers, and not jumping straight to the answers without the evidence.
I like the children's book: Maybe Yes, Maybe No which address this.

r/atheistparents might be a good place to ask. For me, an atheist parent, I wouldn’t worry too much about her getting exposed to god concepts at 3. The challenge starts at around 6-8. She'll be hearing from her religious schoolmates/friends about religion/heaven/hell, etc. That can be traumatizing.
My advice would be to teach her how to think not what to think. We were as honest with our son as possible. Let him know, and be exposed to, all sorts of religious thought. We raised him teaching him the best critical thinking skills we were able. When he was old enough, we gave him age-appropriate books about skepticism. A good example is Dan Barker’s Maybe Guides series. Like Maybe Yes, Maybe No: A Guide for Young Skeptics.
There are also a bunch of podcasts/websites about secular parenting. Parenting Without God. Secular Parenting in a Religious World: A Practical Guide for Free-thinking Parents. Parenting Beyond Belief.
Get books then and read them together. The ones in our sidebar are pretty good and the best part is Amazon has a little carousel of related books so you can quite easily end up finding a whole shelf full of potential content.
One particularly good book to promote skepticism is Maybe Yes, Maybe No: A Guide for Young Skeptics
There is also the Awkward Moments Children's Bible, Vol. 1
Which says it isn't for children and I'm going to hee and haw about that as I feel the Bible itself is inappropriate for Children and I further feel it is dishonest that many children's Bible's gloss over some bad parts. If you get it maybe read over it yourself before deciding if it's appropriate, I'd definitely give it to a teenager without reservation but younger children it depends on how mature they are and what you want them exposed to.
Anyways best of luck!

Seconded, on the critical thinking for kids. Dan Barker's Maybe Yes, Maybe No is great as well.
Maybe see if your local library has some of these? They could open the minds of curious children to science and reason. This has been updated to fix broken links.

Hi there! Atheist parent here. We moved our then toddler, from a very secular San Francisco, to the bible belt. I understand your concerns. r/atheistparents might be a good place to ask this as well.
My advice would be to teach them how to think not what to think. We were as honest with our son as possible. Let him know, and be exposed to, all sorts of religious thought.

A good example is Dan Barker’s Maybe Guides series. Like Maybe Yes, Maybe No: A Guide for Young Skeptics.
For your specific situation, this is going to a huge help. Mormons will eventually love bomb your kids. That usually starts in middle school. Having a good epistemological foundation will allow them to smell that coming a mile away. It would hurt to warn them about that directly either.
There are also a bunch of podcasts/websites about secular parenting. Parenting Without God. Secular Parenting in a Religious World: A Practical Guide for Free-thinking Parents. Parenting Beyond Belief.
Feel free to ask any questions, or if I can clarify anything.
r/atheistparents might be a good place to ask. For me, an atheist parent, I wouldn’t worry too much about them getting exposed to god concepts at 4 1/2. The challenge starts at around 7-8. They'll be hearing from their religious schoolmates/friends about religion/heaven/hell, etc. That can be traumatizing.

I think what you’re proposing is a good path to take. We raised our kid teaching him how to think, instead of what to think. Solid critical thinking skills. He’s off to college in the fall and he’s got a solid bullshit detector.
When he was young we used books like Dan Barker’s Maybe Guides like Maybe Yes, Maybe No: A Guide for Young Skeptics.
There’s also other great books like Parenting without God: How to Raise Moral, Ethical, and Intelligent Children, Free from Religious Dogma

Depends on the age. I bought Barker's "Maybe Yes, Maybe No" when she was about 10yrs old. She kind of liked it.
https://www.amazon.com/Maybe-Yes-No-Guide-Skeptics/dp/0879756071
This book often gets recommended here in cases like yours.
Tough age, especially for boys. Some could be a tough sell to your TBM wife - ease into it and tread lightly, being careful to pick safe-sounding books. You may have to check the age some of these recommendation apply to. You may also want to go through some of the books geared towards younger kids if they need more foundation. Use the library!
Let your kids pick a subject they are interested in and do a library trip.

Unitarian Universalist Association.
Atheists and others are welcome. No one will try to convert you to anything.
There are many ways you can avoid problems. For example, go once to every church in town. Then do it again and again - "You can't decide". Any Sunday school type things, you always go too. If they say no, don't let the kids go. If they say yes, you can ask difficult questions which may encourage the other kids to think.

In today's media-flooded world, there is no way to control all of the information, claims, and enticements that reach young people. The best thing to do is arm them with the sword of critical thinking.
Maybe Yes, Maybe No is a charming introduction to self-confidence and self-reliance. The book's ten-year-old heroine, Andrea, is always asking questions because she knows "you should prove the truth of a strange story before you believe it."
"Check it out. Repeat the experiment. Try to prove it wrong. It has to make sense." writes Barker, as he assures young readers that they are fully capable of figuring out what to believe, and of knowing when there just isn't enough information to decide. "You can do it your own way. If you are a good skeptic you will know how to think for yourself."

> She doesn't go to church and doesn't read the Bible.
Most all Christians are Powerball Christians (and oddly, Jesus always wants what they want, never the other way around).
They "buy a ticket just in case" -- they don't study the bible or follow the rules but something meaningless like thanking god after 15 surgeons save their newborn, well, it costs them nothing.
And you never know . . . like the Powerball.
> But she believes in god which puts me in an awkward position especially since she wants our kids to go to church.

Maybe Yes, Maybe No (LINK)
by Dan Barker
In today's media-flooded world, there is no way to control all of the information, claims, and enticements that reach young people. The best thing to do is arm them with the sword of critical thinking.
Maybe Yes, Maybe No is a charming introduction to self-confidence and self-reliance. The book's ten-year-old heroine, Andrea, is always asking questions because she knows "you should prove the truth of a strange story before you believe it."
"Check it out. Repeat the experiment. Try to prove it wrong. It has to make sense." writes Barker, as he assures young readers that they are fully capable of figuring out what to believe, and of knowing when there just isn't enough information to decide. "You can do it your own way. If you are a good skeptic you will know how to think for yourself."
Another book is "Me & Dog" by Gene Weingarten.
