Clearly my statement was about religion, not whether he becomes a criminal. Disdain for "murder, rape, and theft" is shared by more than just religion.

You're right in that a parent's values will be passed on to his children, and that's a good thing. Children often lack the ability to make "correct" decisions, though I'm sure there's a better way to say that. Then, as they age, they can decide for themselves.

I would hope that my son comes to his own conclusions, whether or not I agree with them. I'm not going to gauge my success as a father on whether or not he comes to the same conclusions as me, but (and not solely) whether he came to logical conclusions.
