What should I do when my child receives religious gifts?

"I would just chuck them.
Or stash them at the bottom of your wardrobe.
Or you could sell them on Ebay.
Or give them away to charity.
Or use them to teach your child how bad religion is(eg bible stories-how bad god must be to drown all these people,...)
Or find alternative uses(someone turned noah`s ark into a gay pride boat;)"  --

"Be gracious in accepting the gift and send the thank you notes then dispose of them any way you feel is appropriate." --

"I would probably say thank you and then either donate the unwanted items or sell them on ebay to get cash to get what you do want." --

"Whatever you do, don't try to pretend you misplaced them or that they got ruined or broken. That implies that a) you actually used the item, and b) you could use a replacement. The last thing you want to do is to encourage more such gifts. I think it's tacky when people ask after gifts they've given. Usually they are just fishing for another thank you, and that is easy enough to give. When someone is deliberately trying to inject religion into your life or influence your child, you do not need to spare their feelings."
