• ditto, i am christian too and i would not disallow my children to play with another child because my beliefs might be different. it's the real world.

  I must not be a typical christian. And my church too. I would never tell my son he couldn't play with someone just because their parents were athiest. Now if they were telling my child that what we believed was stupid/wrong anything like that i probably wouldn't. but i have friends who are athiest and i'd let my son play with their kids if they had any! lol

  Sounds pretty typical of a "christian" group. Different is dangerous, you know. *rolls eyes* I'm glad you're not afraid to be yourself.

  I agree with caiti... hence why I went from Christian to Agnostic many years ago... I'm so going to that site to sign up and see what happens... isn't it against the law for them to remove you due to religious beliefs?  Maybe we should make a new playgroup with a tag saying 'all Christian's will be removed'... I bet that would go over well with them!
  

  LOL, well unfortunately I think it's up to the organizer's discression who they let into a group.  Though I do think they should be required to tag it as religious if they're going to deny membership just for not believing.

• I have no problems with other peoples beliefs and like many other moms have stated, feel that kids should be exposed to numerous religions and viewpoints. It's a bit ridiculous that they kicked you out IMO.

• I would fall under agnostic/pagan, I suppose.

  I would never stop my kids from playing with others who have different beliefs. I am not going to instill my beliefs in them...  I am going to do my best to expose them to as many religions as possible. I believe knowledge breeds tolerance... so them hanging with people of differing beliefs is a good thing.

• I would let my child play with whomever he/she wanted as long as the parents were responsible and trustworthy. I think its important to expose your children to different beliefs and let them make their own mind up.

• I could less about what people believe in unless they push it on me. Kids should be exposed to all different things if they are not how can they grow up to be toleratnt of others.

• I see no problem with it as long as you are not pushing what you believe in or what you do not believe in. Try finding a playgroup that does not care about religion. Or message the one you got deleted from and ask why your religion had anything to do with a playgroup? Who knows, the moms might talk about religious topics and figure that you would not want to attend because you do not believe the same as they do.

• We dont believe in any form of religion... all of my ideals lead back to scientific theories (big bang, evolution, etc) instead of any sort of god.

  I could care less and most times I don't know what someone's religion is unless they mention it.   

  Same here.
