Being raised as an atheist makes life so much simpler. Never had to spend time with those parts of YouTube, life was simple and clear.
Off-topic but if you don't mind me asking, how did you parents answer big questions like on the origins of the universe? Did they tell you religious people were wrong? (my religious parents go out of their way to differentiate us from 'them' so I'm curious.)
Just explain the big bang. I mean, not as if anything else is true. As for the "meaning" of life, my parents were quite blunt. And I'm also blunt to my kids: "there is no meaning. Life is what you make off it. Be excellent to each other and enjoy the ride"
