“Adventures in parenting without superstition.”
Faith is not a virtue
Let’s start with Geography – I guess you could tell I’m not American by the spelling of “Mum”!
I AM a stay-at-home Aussie Mum, who has always been without belief in any god, despite doing 5 years hard time in a Methodist Boarding School here in Australia.
By some combination of luck & good judgement, I met & fell in love with a man who is similarly atheist, to whom I am married & who, if referred to at all will likely hold the moniker of “Godless Dad”.
Our awesome daughter is currently godless, by virtue of the fact that she is just 4 ½ years old at the commencement of this blog & has not been introduced to religious indoctrination of any kind – until now (read “Why the Blog?” for further information”). Maybe I’ll call her “Godless Girl”……
I think I’ll put this in point form for now, because it’s likely that each of these reasons will morph into a blog post all their own. If this blog has any longevity, I expect it will change over time too.
As even a casual perusal of this blog will reveal that I do not in any way conceal my atheism in everyday life, blogging anonymously may seem a little strange or redundant.
There really is only one reason for that & it has to do with the “Mum” part: My daughter goes to a religiously affiliated school.
