One of the worst forms of child abuse is Indoctrination. You take a fresh brain and pump it with phrases like "YOUR A MUSLIM." "ALLAH IS ALL MIGHTY MUHAMMED IS HIS MESSENGER." "YOU WILL ROAST IN HELL IF YOU DON'T OBEY." All of this and more is psychologically damaging to children. I know when I was indoctrinated, I became utterly confused about so many things in life. 
Hell was one of the main reasons I did anything for a good purpose to begin with. I literally only did good things as a child because I was scared of hell. I acted in an altruistic matter so that I could achieve paradise and only paradise. It made me selfish and not actually do things just for the sake of humanity's problems. I remember when I was in the 4th grade and I was actually having a debate with another child about drawing things and whether or not they were haram because it would be seen like "i'm playing god." I never even thought of the stupidity of that idea of me playing god considering the very school I was going to was "created" by people. This kid actually scared me into thinking drawing people is bad because of this. Later on a teacher had to straighten my mind lol. I also remember believing in God at a young age made me very shy for some reason. I found it extremely difficult to talk to girls and express how I felt about them because I knew I had to wait to marriage instead. When my teen years kicked in my laziness and impatience kicked in as well. Instead of praying 5 times a day, I did a little dance 5 times a day because I seriously didn't give a shit anymore. Instead of going to the mosque on Friday's, I'd go get some coca cola. Finally I got fed up with the mosque and started feeling even more confused about Islam. The same kid who told me drawing people is haram debated me again as an Atheist. He told me to prove atheism was accurate and correct. It felt like De Ja Vu when he told me this because I just finished watching some creationist religiotard talk about this on You Tube. I still have some anxiety problems from indoctrination, and I seem to get nervous whenever death is mentioned. I know heaven and hell is a ridiculous concept, but for some reason whenever death is mentioned, I can't help but feel a creepy chill.
What people need to do with their kids is teach them "how to think for themselves." To teach them that "there are many religions out there all thinking they're the true religion."
I know if I have a son or daughter, I won't fear them with this nonsense. Instead I'll let them analyze the evidence for themselves and I'm pretty sure they'll come up to the conclusion that Atheism is the way.
