I did not vote because the options provided do not represent my view regarding the matter. I think atheist parents lack of belief will influence their children, but not that it will necessarily mean that their children will be atheists as well. That is a decision one makes on his/her own.

Well Mr. Christian scientist in bizzaro world. yes I do believe in heaven. I define heaven as our spirit transcending and communing directly with God. My path, no I fail miserably. Jesus, whom I believe existed, taught that the only way to heaven is through him and his teachings. His teachings and actions resonate with a truth I'm inclined to acquiesce. Why? I thought I had already said this elsewhere?
"There ought to be a term that would designate those who actually follow the teachings of Jesus, since the word 'Christian' has been largely divorced from those teachings, and so polluted by fundamentalists that it has come to connote their polar opposite: intolerance, vindictive hatred, and bigotry." -- Philip Stater, Huffington Post
