Sure. The most legal action you can take is to speak up and say: "Kids there is a God!" Thats legal. |

He's just as free to tell his truth as you are to to tell yours.
If you were intellectually honest with your kid and said, "That's what he believes, this is what I do. Here's what I get out of it. The truth is we could BOTH be wrong. When you're older you can make your own call." that'd be one thing.
Posting this just makes you sound like a petty, fearful religious nut who can't take any opposition to your brand of dogma, whether you actually are like that or not. |

Nope, freedom of religion and speech.
I could counter your arguement by asking if there are any legal actions I can take against door to door Mormons etc..
Edit:
"If it is a neighbor just explain to your children that there is a god and the man has no soul and they are to pity him. If the guy is a teacher, or club leader get them fired."
I thought the bible condemned judging people and eye for an eye. |

Lets take away free speech for atheists, that will show them who's boss!! Then we can round them up and put the fear of God into them.
disclaimer, this is satire in case you didn't figure it out, (I know there has to be a few that didn't)
added:
amazing how many "Christians" advocate using violence, Wasn't Jesus all about none violence? WWJD? |

Jesus Christ never needed to do any legal action to combat those that opposed the way of the father, son, and the holly spirit. He would use his ability to show the way that happiness goes to all that follow.
Come up with fun and exciting things to do as Christians, as well as good rewards, (not necessarily materialistic), for those that go christian. You will have a certain strength that the atheist will lack.
As an extra bonus, your children would not listen to the atheist or care to for all the money in the world. |

that your Atheist [an adult, I assume] has free speech and therefore the right to declaim his mind in public places seems fairly clear.
On the other hand, he has no right to do this on your property [or property you rent], for that is not a public place. If he does so, tell him immediately that he is trespassing and is to leave and not return. Then call the police if he does not leave asap.
I'd also perhaps wonder why this person feels the need to make his proclaimation to children. For sure, I'd tell him to stay away from my children and that he is not to speak to them even if they are in or passing through a public place [such as the park or, next month, their school bus stop].
Should it seem that he is singling out a particular child or children, I think I'd suggest to that child's parent that the fellow be warned off and if he doesn't desist, I'd then report him to the police as possibly stalking a child.
Methinks that the law in this area is a little hazy -- to me, it is clear that children do not have equal capacity to hold their own in discussion with an adult and thus the adult is not free to harass, badger, or otherwise take advantage of his size and apparent authority vis-a-vis a child. Children deserve special protection precisely because their minds are not yet as capable as those of adults.
{Of course, that argument holds the other way as well -- and rather suggests that the practice of religions trying to indoctrinate children is morally repugnant because the children are not equally mentally capable.}

Then there would have to be a law about saying there was a god. You can't persecute people for believing or not believing.
And if you really believe that you might want to read the bible. (if that is the god you're trying to teach your kids about and not another one) I was pretty sure there was something in there about 'God' giving us free will? Meaning 'He' supports people choosing for themselves? So punishing someone for doing what was allowed to them by that kind of authority makes it seem like you are putting your personal demands over 'His' divine plans.... Not a situation I'd willingly enter into if I believed.
Also the more you hide your kids from other views, the less they will be able to make their own decisions when faced with opposing views when they are out in the world on their own when they are older. |

Not really (legally). You can tell a court commissioner that your neighbor is a suspected child molester and having conversations with your child of an unhealthy nature OR You can wait until dark, gang up on his butt and whip his @*%# until he begs for God's help. There are no atheist in a fox hole. |

Not really.
However, if you are in a custody battle, you can bring up the notion that you want religious education for your kids, and this person of another non-religion is conflicting with that. So if the athiest is a member of the other household, you might be able to get the judge to ban any non-religious education from that person to your kids.
The athiest family has an equal right to try to get the judge to bar you from doing religious education for the kids.
Remember, we live in a secular state where the government is not supposed to get involved in religious activities. We have freedom of religion & non-religion.
However, outside the family household, it is the responsibility of the parents to keep the kids away from any persons with values other than those you believe in, such as people who tell the kids that it is Ok to have adultery, orgies, be a terrorist, or whatever. |
