The answers are quite simple and straightforward. While we somehow try to make religion a thing that needs importance, we ourselves are not complete on this aspect. The Bhagvatgita, Khuran, Bible have been left behind which teach the real essence of the religion but unfortunately these are no more finding their place in homes.
Children are true from the core due to the fact that they can see the reality and express it without any hesitation and fear. They should always be encouraged in their homes for their truthness and parents should also imbibe it so that the children will also feel good and grow faster when their views are valued.
Good link, but one answer surprised me, which the child says "I do not want to follow religion, so I do not think I have nay religion". I sprangs surprise as how could a child know in detail about religions so that he do not want to follow it and take a decision, nevertheless rest of answers seems good.
