8 Non-Religious Reasons to Take Your Kids to Church

[LisaC]

I just read this and I'm just not sure how I feel about it. On the one hand, I love the idea of non-believers coming to church to find out more about God (that's the goal, right). On the other hand, the aspects of it just being free childcare and free food offend me a little bit.

Year after year, polls like this recent one by Gallup show that "churchgoers" not only experience more positive emotions but also less negative emotions than people who do not regularly attend church, synagogue, or mosque.

So maybe you're not like me; having been intrigued since kindergarten on how we all got here and what happens to us after we die.

This is for the agnostics who are curious about taking their kids to church, as well as, for those who haven't had much exposure to church but are curious enough to consider checking it out.

I've told people for years that one of the best decisions wifey and I ever made was to raise our daughter in church. Salvation aside (not to make light of it, mind you), it was good for her. Taught her many great lessons, she made good fiends, etc.
