39. Yes, we should!

And no way in the world should we expect people to do that.

No way should we expect people to do it gratuitously, but when specifically asked about the extent to which dad's beliefs are your own?

I think most people understand that children are not clones of their parents! I think we should indeed expect people to take a stand for their beliefs, even when those are not the beliefs of their parents. As others have mentioned, it can be done with respect and tact, yet still send a strong affirmation.
