Is it right to teach kids to follow a religion before they’re old enough to decide for themselves?

Yes. They'll grow up to question it and decide for themselves if they want to continue to practice it. I was raised Christian and while I'm not religious the religious education I got as a child did me a lot of good.

@PinkMoon I would argue that having a religious education as a kid didn't do me a lot of good, but it could simply be because I ultimately turned from it. I did retain the message of empathy, I suppose.

@LordShadowfire The message of empathy is the only one that truly matters.
