Teach

Most Mormons who leave the Church become a version of agnostic or atheist but I wonder if that's necessary.  Benjamin Franklin stopped participating in organized religion, but he said he still believed in God and prayed and read the Bible every day. It seems like a person could still be true to their choices and do some of these things:

• You could pray over food.  It's so simple and it teaches your children gratitude, appreciation, and self-control. 
• You could still sing songs and hymns.  Many of our hymns originated with other faiths.  And it doesn't seem hurtful for a child to hear the words, "Give Said the Little Stream," or "I love mother, she loves me." 
• You can read the New Testament, especially the Sermon on the Mount.  Any of us can learn mercy and forgiveness and generosity and humility--besides the literature of the Bible.
• Stories are important. The world is full of good concepts for growing children and young people, but they need to be taught. It's good to tell them to be nice, but it's important to share stories and examples of people who are nice--who are good and kind and self-sacrificing.
• There are books for you to read that elevate.  When I taught in Los Angeles, one  section of our district curriculum that I was required to use in my classes taught that man had a spirit, something higher than animals. A person can find literature to address and lift that part of him. 

Our neighbors, the Burnses, were Catholic, but they used the FHE manual because they could see it had good concepts to teach their daughters.
