yeah, im vary wary of any religions that offer anything except a place to contemplate tbh. all you can tell ur child is that God, if God exists, wants the best for each and all of us and that although we may do it in different ways, we all try behave how God would like us too. the thing about looking for a religion is that imo untill you find God youll keep looking :P i know that sounds crap but what i mean is that buddhism, christianity and judiasm etc. all have there icons of god that can be worshipped and yes to those sceptical it looks archaic and it looks stupid. the way i approach things like this is any place of worship is a monument erected by man to God whoever he may be and any religious place is a holy place, it doesnt matter if ur Jewish you should be able to attend a christian church and join christians in the praise of the creator, at the end of the day every single religion DOES worship the same thing, just they go about it differnetly but they all offer thanxks to whoever or whatever brought about the possibility we might live, i guess thats what you will find repeated most in holy books and its what i believe, we should thank the architect of our existance. All religions especially and mankind in general has only had our current period of fairly unclouded viewpoints for less than 100 years, we need to remember that the church wont throw away everything it has been about for 2000 years, and this may be its downfall as an organisation, but imo all religious things like that should be are groups that can organise spiritual or religious gatherings and not demand you go thru rituals or whatever. what you need to remember is that if God exists he will know u whether or not you go to church, and i doubt that a God who created this Universe will care tbh

go find what u look for if you can, if u dont find anything that satisfies you thats unfortuante but its by no means wrong, and if u find a place for god in ur life then you arnt a prehistoric or backwards person at all, i still maintain that tho the bible isnt accurate that hardly is a reason for mankind to give up 1000's of years of belief just to look hip and trendy in the modern world. Think how many ppl have existed ever, and think what % of those ppl believed in a God, mankinds relationship with God is striking, even if we dont believe in him anymore.
