I'm tired. My father forced me to attend church this morning. I'm not really religious. His mindset messed up my brain a lot.
I think if you're a parent, you shouldn't force your beliefs on your child. Instead, teach them that there are many different religions, and not to judge and invalidate others based on their religions. Make sure to tell them that they can choose to participate in whatever beliefs they'd prefer, and support them.
Giving them a free mindset with strengthen your bond. If you allow them to make their own choices, within reason, they will be more willing to trust you.
Forcing your decisions on them makes them want to cut contact as soon as they turn 18; Speaking as a child with very strict parents. Practically my every move is controlled by them, and it's suffocating.
