simple, i would not teach him anything, simply explain to him that i have diverged from the path, and i do not believe in God anymore. Or if i have strong views about my previous religion i can simply explain to him the reasons why i decided not to believe anymore, if that can be considered a lesson, he/she can either agree with my beliefs or stick with his or her previous ideas, and that's fine with me, i would never try to make him into what i am, even though children kind of learn from and follow their parents and their parent's beliefs often. Or, if my child never followed the beliefs of my religion in the first place then there would be nothing necessary to do :P

most likely my child would just naturally follow inmy footsteps, from living in my house and listening to me and learning from me, that's how it was when my parents changed from catholicism to just general christianiy, i believed what they were saying with everything in me, i was six back then, but i suppose if there was a second influence in the child's life, another relative, the child's father, then it could be different

I'm a luciferian and will be when I'm older 'cause I just switched to it. I will teach my children that Lucifer was right, God was wrong and then let them decide what they think. I have no rejection to atheism, so long as my family doesn't LOVE God, we'll be fine.
Of curse that is if I do have children…
