My "religious awakening" went something like this:
My grandma was religious, and Christianity is so embedded in culture, that you just kind of accept it when you're a kid, you know? I was English, and English people are Christians. That's just how it is when you're a kid (though perhaps not anymore today). I went to a religious school, and they'd read from the bible, and I vividly remember my teacher stopping to tell us "And this is all real, this all -really happened-".
I told that to my mum, and she said the words that more parents need to tell their kids (in a religious context or not): "Well, that's just somebody's opinion. We don't really know the truth for sure."
And that's what kickstarted my philosophical beliefs, and my tendency to debate and question everything. Honestly, the best thing you can teach your kids is to think for themselves, and find the answer for themselves.
A bit serious for this topic, but related!
