The argument is that by doing so the child is ill equipped to make their own way in the world when they go out on their own.
If we are talking about Christianity and Islaam, then I quite agree with Dawkins on this.

Anyone have similar experiences?
Anyone think that it's ok for xtians and muslims to teach their religion to their children and that it's not child abuse?
I definitely do not. I will however add Kardecism Spiritism (a creed that is popular here in Brazil) to the list. From what I know of it, Scientology as well.
Those doctrines lack true religious value, choosing instead to present unnecessary, fantastic fears and claim to be the necessary remedy to those fears.
It is quite a shame when you look at it from a distance.
Morituri Delendi!
