Frankenstein's Family: I explained the B'nai Mitzvah to my then preteen as a ritual coming of age ceremony that involves learning a language for older documentation that too many people only know through translation, then teaching whatever lesson you got from the week's portion. There was NO statement of faith expected from them, and saying that ethical principles should evolve was acceptable. Give someone in the village a coming of age in science that's NOT getting married or romantic.
Reality is stranger than fiction
