    Our children do decide for themselves. Check out Religion and Spirituality . They are all ticked off they had to go to church or didn't get a good enough science education even when scholastically home taught kids score higher on tests and this is statistical evidence.

    Really it is whine, whine , whine over there. And now that gay marriage is law, they still ask about it like picking a scab. Not enough attention, I guess.

    All children decide for themselves. Look at Richard Dawkins. He decided against being Anglican . A better question might be what percentage of atheists would object to their children deciding for themselves because they have atheist summer camps to program kids to godlessness and even pretend churches where they can fellowship and build up their unbelief.

    The first villain in all Ahbrahamic Religious is the Apple of Knowledge. Religion, by its very nature, is antagonistic towards to acquisition of knowledge, and instead instructs people in the practice of escapist fantasy and deference to authority.

    Anyone who would have indoctorined their child would throw independant thinking out the window. It is called having an open mind and you saying what is good or bad.

    This runs contrary to a fundamental tenet of obongoism.

    Everyone should leave other people's kids alone. everybody, to one degree or another, indoctrinates their children in how they believe or don't believe.
