Wait a minute - how is what Trish did different from what I would do as an atheist? If I was running a kids club of some discription and some of the kids were christian (as is usually the case) and asked me about God or the bible or something about christianity - I would have to respond that ‘some people believe this but I don’t’. If they went on to ask ‘why’, things get more complicated. On the one hand I don’t want to tell the kids that I think their parents are wrong, but that is essentially what I’m saying, which a bright kid would quickly work out. This has in fact happened to me. Whilst I would be really pissed off, should someone tell my child that his/her parents were wrong, when I think about the shoe being on the other foot, I would do the same thing - maybe with more tact and ‘I think’ qualifiers though. ---

The key difference between your example and what happened here is your use of the phrase “…and asked me about God or the bible…” [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/christian-supremacist/197386.md?page=3)
