Hello, Thine. What to believe is a difficult topic. When someone is mature enough to choose what to believe, she/he should not be unduly required to defend the choice that is made. What causes tension at times is the choices parents make for their children are believed to be the most appropriate ones.

Parents must realize they have been preparing their offspring to make choices of their own and the day has come. The children have thought things through and decided what they can believe. Parents than must learn to accept their children have grown up and the choices they make deserve credence.
