Yes Spooke, it’s child abuse. Consider that if I were to teach a child some ridiculous lie like “if you ever have any black friends then one day you’ll be torn apart by hideous monsters while mummy and daddy stand by and applaud, saying ‘you deserved it’”, I think that would be abusive. How does this differ from the threats of religion? Replace black with gay and I just described some forms of christism. And if you object to that on the grounds that it’s a really rare “perversion” of religion, then I think it’s also abusive to teach children a pack of lies and blind obedience when they should be learning to think critically and to weigh the evidence.
