Parenting Beyond Belief


I'm excited to read a collection of essays compiled in the book Parenting Beyond Belief: On Raising Ethical, Caring Kids Without Religion. The primary compelling arguments I hear in favor of organized religion are about establishing a moral framework and a reason to be or do good. I think kids don't necessarily need religion to motivate morality, but they do need some guidance. Parents need guidance too. I think this book will have some interesting ideas. Plus, it looks like the editor will be speaking in Portland sometime this year (dates not yet set).
