Happy happy news!!
Last night, in a quiet moment after a BBQ:
Son: Dad, do you believe in God?
Me: (pause) No I don't.
Son: Me neither. I don't believe in things you can't see.
............................... HOORAY!!!!
I swear to - goodness - that I never once put him up to it!
Success!! Rational parenting win!!
We had a brief chat about how we wouldn't say things like that Gran, because it's not very polite, and my wife was listening so I couldn't fall to my knees and say "Oh, thankyou thankyou thankyou." I think I handled it very neutrally.

OMG - like, I just got the best news EVER. I've got new shoes and found out there was a kitten inside and I woke up today and realised it was my birthday and I won movie tickets and I'm meeting friends at the park today because I just learned how to do handstands and I really want to tell you that I love you and isn't it such a good time to be alive?

You know that "new shoes! new shoes!" feeling? I think we should just write about it every time that happens - good weather, good fun, good times. It's all good.
Zuzanna says...
Yep, I like that! And it doesn't matter what anyone else thinks - as long as YOU are excited, then that's all that matters.

I have a similar attitude towards dark matter (although I consider its existence more likely than your son's invisible space magician).
