So, today I went for a vaccine and my mom took me as I’m a minor and after she was given a questionairre. There was a slot for my gender and instead of checking male she asked if I’d rather tick non binary. I’m cis so this didn’t matter much but it gives me hope that I might be able to come out some day.
I’ve also started teaching my sister critical thinking to prevent her becoming a religious but. Hope she remembers my lesson on questioning authority
She is 5 that’s why I’m struggling to teach
The internet is your friend.

Alongside what others have recommended, I’ve found that running through scientific case examples and trying to get them to come to the conclusion themselves (for example pointing out that a river dips to a certain area or that vegetation in an area is missing) helps to teach critical thinking without a pro or anti-religious bent. It’s also a tad bit of a buzzword today, as it encompasses many skills, but in my opinion (which isn’t the only one) one of the most important base skills is a firm understanding of hypothesis tests.
