1) Not no necesssarily. It could be, but it doesn't have to be.
2) Yes, but the definition needs to be fairly limited to what society deems acceptable, and that may mean community standards like pornography.
3). Not based on my experience with their practices. The separation of church and state thing is tougher, though with other groups, where child marriage is a thing, or Christian Scientists for example.

1. Not all but some is.
2. Abuse of any vulnerable adult, animal or child should be. Really, it should just not be tolerated by a developed society and we shouldn't need laws for such things, respectful treatment of others should just be engrained in culture.
3. Children should not be removed from a home solely based on the religious doctrine their parents follow. If their psychological or physical well being is being significantly negatively affected then a social worker or advocate should be court appointed to determine the best course of action. I imagine it is rare occurance when a child is in such a dangerous situation they need to be removed from their home because of a religious practice. Not unheard of but rare.

Child abuse already is illegally, and yes I believe Religious indoctrination of a child should be illegal and no I do not see any moral way of achieving question 3, as this can too be perceived as child abuse.

No, yes, no. Being raised in a religion is not child abuse, and I'm a pretty hard-bitten atheist.

It's a good question.

Why is Christianity not included in #3?
