Featured on PBS NewsHour — The essential guide for secular and open‑minded parents raising curious, kind, and independent thinkers.

If you’ve ever wondered how to talk to your kids about God, heaven and religion without fear, awkwardness or indoctrination, you’re not alone. A growing number of nonreligious and secular parents are searching for ways to raise kids without religion while still teaching respect, compassion and religious literacy.

Relax, It’s Just God is a warm, witty and research‑backed guide to having these conversations with honesty and confidence. Drawing on a survey of 1,000 nonreligious parents and the latest child‑development research, award‑winning journalist Wendy Thomas Russell blends science, humor and personal experience to help you:

• Speak openly about beliefs without pressuring your kids to agree

• Make religious literacy fun, engaging and age‑appropriate

• Talk about death in a way that comforts without relying on religious promises

• Navigate religious differences with extended family

• Support kids when they face religious pressure or threats

With compassion and clarity, Russell shows how to encourage kids to explore big questions, understand diverse perspectives and make up their own minds about what to believe — or not believe — while respecting others’ views.

Whether you identify as nonreligious or just open-minded, Relax, It’s Just God offers the tools you need to raise kids with curiosity, empathy and confidence.
