Featured on the PBS NewsHour! A step-by-step guide to raising confident, open-minded, tolerant kids
Relax, It's Just God delivers a refreshingly compassionate and light-hearted approach to addressing issues of faith in secular families. For anyone looking to raise critically thinking, religiously literate, and highly tolerant kids capable of making up their own minds about what to believe, Relax, It's Just God may well be considered the secular equivalent of a godsend.
A rapidly growing demographic cohort in America, secular parents are at the forefront of a major and unprecedented cultural shift. Unable to fall back on what they were taught as children, many of these parents are struggling, or simply failing, to address issues of God, religion and faith with their children in ways that promote honesty, curiosity, kindness and independence.
Author Wendy Thomas Russell sifts through hard data, including the results of a survey of 1,000 nonreligious parents, and delivers gentle but straightforward advice to both non-believers and open-minded believers. With a thoughtful voice infused with humor, Russell seamlessly merges scientific thought, scholarly research and everyday experience with respect for a full range of ways to view the world.
Relax, It's Just God goes beyond the numbers to assist parents (and grandparents) who may be struggling to find the right time, place, tone and language with which to talk about God, spirituality and organized religion. It encourages parents to promote religious literacy and understanding and to support kids as they explore religion on their own -- ensuring that each child makes up his or her own mind about what to believe (or not believe) and extends love and respect to those who may not agree with them.
Subjects covered include:
¿ Talking openly about our beliefs without indoctrinating kids
¿ Making religious literacy fun and engaging
¿ Talking about death without the comforts of heaven
¿ Navigating religious differences with extended family members
¿ What to do when kids get threatened with hell

Über den Autor
After an award-winning career in journalism that spanned more than a decade and brought her out to California from her native Missouri, Wendy Thomas Russell left newspapers and fell, as fate would have it, into the surprisingly fascinating world of secular parenting. Her groundbreaking blog, Relax, It's Just God, offered a thoughtful and often hilarious look inside her own life as she navigated the thornier sides of religion with her young daughter. Her no-nonsense yet compassionate approach to religion detailed in her book has been hailed as a breath of fresh air for progressive parents looking to raise well-informed, open-minded children who feel empowered to make up their own minds about what to believe. Russell is co-founder of Brown Paper Press, an independent book publishing company, and contributed an online parenting column to the PBS NewsHour. She also co-authored "ParentShift: Ten Universal Truths That Will Change the Way You Raise Your Kids" (2019). She lives in Long Beach with her husband and daughter.
