Are people involved in a spiritual enterprise when they think, and therefore, when they teach? This might seem a far-fetched question to those who describe themselves as atheists because they would believe that the only influences in life are materialistic. Such a materialistic understanding leads us to believe that whatever we decide to do is a result of our nature (our physical inheritance and predispositions) and nurture (our social contexts past and present).
And if that is true, it does not matter who teaches our children.
