Very interesting clip about how traditional religious upbringing is essentially child abuse.
I'm an American and I believe in the Constitution. As such, I support all of it including the concept of "freedom of religion." However, if I had to choose only one freedom to restrict, I'd make it that one specifically with respect to the protection of children.
Children are vulnerable to indoctrination and will believe anything figures in authority, especially their parents, tell them to. The exclusion of information about all other religions is essentially BRAINWASHING and can take many years to undo the damage.
If I were to make any break from our currently accepted practices and legal traditions, I would legally enforce a mandatory comparative religion course for all children. It would start as soon as they hear the word "Jesus" or "Allah" for the first time and would be age appropriate.
We should not stand for this any longer. Freedom should not be allowed to be used as a license to abuse children.
