I agree that parents shouldn't force their children to be any certain religion, nor should they put down other religions so as to put a bad taste in the child's mouth regarding exploring religion, I find that very wrong....BUT there's nothing you can do about it, and almost EVERY parent does that-sad. It would be unconstitutional to ban anyone, young or old, minor or adult, the right to go to church though.
It's an unsolvable 'problem'.
All you can hope for is that once they grow up, they will explore more or drop it all together as adults, which does happen.
As with anything, open-minded people are pretty rare. What can ya do??
I would love it if people ACTUALLY were taught to be open-minded and such in school so the kids could learn to leave that shit if they want to.
I believe just about everybody has the opportunity to be smart and open-minded, they just need the right perception. Religion steers them away from that perception and the parents who do that...are just fucking idiots.
Just an agnostic-atheist who wants the human race to succeed. My intentions have always been to motivate and inspire humanity to explore the stars and answer the many fascinating questions our universe has to offer.
If it were up to religion, we would be wasting away centuries living in huts for the rest of her lives, hoping for a divine experience after death.

That kind of reasoning just sets us back.
