Curious and not sure why. How many our our struggling adult kids are atheists?

[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 647899, member: 1550"] I'm a mixture of New Age and Buddhist and believe in reincarnation, old lives, new lives and that we are mainly here to learn how to love and until we do, we will keep coming back for more lessons. And I believe that Karma happens either in this world or the next. I try hard to live up to what I feel happens when we leave earth (shrug). My only reason for asking is that any sort of spiritual belief requires one to follow rules and have a sense of morality and, if any religion or spiritual belief is being practiced the right way, caring for others. These are all traits our grown kids we have here for lack. So I wanted to know if even one of them followed any spiritual path, be it an organized religion or a spirituality or any sense that something out there is greater than they are. I know atheists who are good and kind people and I know religious people who make me laugh when they say they follow God. That wasn't the point of my question. I just noticed a pattern of our little darlings rejecting our spiritual teachings...almost to a kid. And I wanted to check it if was true. I don't judge people based on their religious beliefs or lack of them as long as they are good, giving people. That is ALL I care about. I keep my belief system mostly to myself. [/QUOTE]
