What's more important to religious people...Their religion or offspring ?
What a ridiculous question!

Anyone who puts anything before their offspring's welfare should take a good long hard look at themselves and ask why did they have them in the first place.

without the offspring of religious people the religion would die

As often happens atheists talk more about religion than the average religious person does. Irony.

Playing devil's advocate here for one second: what about people whose offspring, for no obvious parental reason, turn out to be murderers, rapists and so on?

It seems to me there are an awful lot of atheists in modern society who don't care about their kids. Why ask such a stupid question as the OP?

No no no, as often happens, a single atheist is managing to make the rest of us look bad, let's try to avoid grouping everyone (religious or not) together hey?

Another myth which keeps getting perpetuated. I know several believers, whose parents weren't even church goers.

To be honest knowing what mankind knows about the vastness of space etc how can people belive in heaven? And as for god I do not understand how any rational human being can truly believe or see any evidence for believing, I don't label myself as an "active athiest" I just have that opinion, therefore anyone who puts anything,especially an imaginary friend, before their offspring have a serious mental problem.

IMHO it is fairly obvious their is no god or heaven and if heaven existed (as you suggest in another plain etc) then do ALL animals (INCLUDING dinosaours etc who were all on this planet longer than we have been ) souls go there? Pretty big if they do unfair if they don't. I don't have all the answers but to just put things down to "faith" if there's no evidence seems a little childish

Why?
You're brain washed from birth to know that you'll be in a better place when dead and your kids and family come 2nd to a load of made up bullshit that doesn't exist
This is what's wrong with many religions as you should be taught that your offspring is no 1 and God is guidance only.

But you're in a thread regarding a religious question which I would think only religious people could answer...
Its not about looking good or bad, its about wasting time talking about something you don't even believe in

because there is? why are you asking a question of physics to atheists? try the other way:
A question for theists. Why is there something and not nothing. to expand, where has the something come from and what is the nothing it replaces?
theres still no answer.

As Religion is a made up thing to control human beings, the correct answer should be your children.

To "Control" is just your take on it. The best of religion values the individual and empowers them....... an not just around religious things, but about life in general,

or can tell the difference between the meaning of "God", "god(s)" or deity.
its not a philosophical question in the terms asked, as it assumes that something exists, therefore its a question of physics. if the question was "what is something" that would be both a question of physics and metaphysics.
