Yeah. It's particularly horrible with children. I find it sickening for them to be 'brought up' to believe in all that shit. They should be taught to think for themselves.
And if they have to be 'brought up' religious, I think they should be taught as many religions as possible (and also they should meet some atheists too). So they understand there are so many different points of views and perspectives that there's doesn't seem so special any more. How is there's any more right than all the other religions? Etc. I think comparative religion is important.
I think being brought up as if one PARTICULAR religion is right, or to not even know ABOUT the other religions - is particularly bad. Like closed off from the world y'know?
