I Think Indoctrinating Children With Religion Is Child Abuse

Of course if you believe that indoctrinating children with religion is child abuse then you have to go on to say that indoctrinating them with atheism is also child-abuse. In fact you have to go on to say that indoctrinating them in any way and with any sort of value is child abuse, so let's close down the schools and stop all this indoctrination. Don't indoctrinate your children into road safety - let them find out for themselves what it's like to go under a lorry. I know people who take their child up a football match and indoctrinate them into supporting that team. How terrible that such child-abuse goes on! And for goodness sake don't let your children read books or they might get indoctrinated. And of course the greatest indoctrinater of all is the media. Do no Facebook, Television or Internet, have we got that clear?

Everyone has the rights to believe in any religion or spiritual thing or not believe in anything. And that includes children. Let them have their own opinions. Teach them about different believes and atheism and then let them decide on what path they wand to go down. My patents taught me about both and my dad taught me about spiritual things and the other religions I learned at school. I chosen to believe and to believe in spiritual things too. Teach them to think for themselves. Even if you don’t agree with their opinions, don’t push yours onto them. Just let them be.
