 FAMILY ISSUES: AN OVERVIEW
The new Family Issues section of Atheist Alliance is designed to host a wide variety of topics related to raising a family in a religous world. The Family Issues section will be designed to spark thoughtful debate and catalog experiences about ethics and morality, what to say to our children when the inevitable questions are asked, alternatives to the community of church and religious groups, and much, much more...

The Atheist Alliance urges all atheist and agnostic parents, or anyone else, to take advantage of this new section, and even contribute to this essential collection of advice and anecdotes for the freethinking family. Please contact Family Issues editor if you'd like to contribute, or if you have a question regarding submissions.

The volunteer editor of this section is author Dale McGowan, and any text that is not attributed (such as the introduction essay "A Tough Job Made Tougher"), can be attributed to him.
