Personally I wouldn't allow wicca or satanism in my house, and if my kids asked if they could go to an equinox ritual or whatever I would say no... but that's because I believe there can be real metaphysical aftereffects. Just curious how it plays from an atheist perspective.
No I wouldn't make someone who prayed at my dinner table leave. Though I would tell them that I am indeed atheist (as is my future family) and in my house I don't want any prayer. And I dont know what VBS is but I assume its a christian event and no I wouldnt let my children go. But dont assume that I wouldn't teach my kids about other religions. They need to know about all of the religions so that when their adults they can make their own decisions about faith.
