Should we educate people about brainwashing and manipulation?
I propose we teach how indoctrination works in schools..
- music, meditation, and prayer used to induce hallucinations
- repetition of a doctrine to make people believe it
- distraction
- teach how easily fooled our perceptions are (magic shows are a good example)
etc etc
of course the churches would fight it on all fronts...
what do all of ya'll think?

School is for education not indoctrination!
It was not too long back when schools taught comparative religions giving a fair appraisal of many religions and at that time prayer was also used. Then the Christians demanded that only Christianity be taught and as everyone knows that is against the constitution so religion and prayer were removed!

Yes, we should arm people to resist atheist brainwashing and manipulation.

Just teach your children what you want them to know. you can't force your ideas to children of other people. Just like you can't force religion on to others

Of course, but maybe not include religion, because people get anal about that.
