Atheist parents!

Agnostic means skepticism towards the idea of god.

No it doesn't. It means not holding a certainty about things unknowable. It's as much skepticism towards atheism as it is towards the divine.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

@Remy: It just sounded like you were giving the definition a tilt to it. The term seems very flexible to me. You could attend church, pray regularly, and not believe for a moment in the torments of hellfire. That would give you some agnostic value. As would rejecting major religions' teachings by and large, but curious to other aspects of mysticism like spirits, out of body experiences, or deja vu. It's just that you don't put absolute stock in anything that involves forces unseen.

Back on topic, the parent would have to discern the maturity level of the child to handle discussion on the matter. I don't think it would be wrong to tactfully avoid or give non detailed answers to the ins and outs of belief with a six year old just as you might when they ask where babies come from or how Santa makes it to everyone's house in a single night. Don't lead them to a conclusion when they're young, but don't give them no guidance whatsoever.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

I wasn't brought up with a religious background but my parents still celebrated Christmas and Easter with me.

The way I was raised, this was vise-versa I got so screwed.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

That's the one, yep.
