    You should be 18 or older to attend any religious event. Our youth have been indoctrinated long enough.

      I know this is probably not going to be a popular take but honestly that seems pretty distopian as in many cases it’s pretty hard to separate religion from culture so are you really going to force a Hindu family to feed their kids beef cuz they aren’t old enough to practice a religion that happens to be a part of their Indian culture I know amarica has failed a lot at being the land of the free but this just seems like a step in the wrong direction

        No. What you do in your own home (to an extent) is your own family business. Just like letting a 15 year old try alcohol at home is reasonable in my opinion. It should be illegal to indoctrinate your children into religion (outside of your home).

      I can’t think of a rule more likely to drive children into religion than banning children from religion.

      Couple that with the very natural existential crisis moment kids have when they really start thinking about their own mortality and you’ve got a recipe for another religious Great Awakening.

      I’m gonna go out on a limb and say religions are doing great at driving the next generations away by doing whatever they’ve been doing.

        Not following. Why would banning children from religion drive children into religion? You think teenagers would “rebel” by going going to Church or studying a fake book? Lol.

        All kids become porn stars because porn is banned for children. Sound logic there champ.
