  • Thanks for explaining. It kind of is what I expected but not fully.

    I’m not sure if you’re doing it out of conviction or for fun. If it’s for fun, there’ a good chance just providing a place for children to get to know each other and play, regardless of belief, might introduce you to a diverse and bigger crowd. In the world of mobile phones and social media, parents of all walks of life probably would like their kids to hang out more with others and gain social skills.




  • Not religious and child-free: if I had a child and had made the decision to take it to religious youth groups, it would’ve been multiple so that the child finds out about the differences in beliefs. It would’ve been a Christian, Muslim, Buddhist, and whatever other religion I could find. If it were only Christian groups, then no.

    A child should grow up to know that the world is diverse, learn how to think critically, how to question things, and how to think for itself. Once it’s adult, then it can join whichever group it wants. Introducing a child to a single view of the world would be counter-productive to its critical thinking skills and diversity of thought.
