I am assured that the only thing atheists have in common is a lack of belief in God. So there is nothing intrinsically free-thinking about atheism. Some atheists may be parroting people they have heard. Sad but true.
But the point I was making holds: people aren't born with language, math, religion, or knowledge of how to behave in groups. All these things are learned.
Quote: and imposing religion on a child is transforming that child from a natural question-poser to a socialized question-rejecter. It is attack on human mind and its capacity to ask and know altogether.
It depends on who is doing the teaching. Do you think that no religious person asks questions or seeks new knowledge?
If you say it is always true, in the case of every religious family, I think you are making an overly general statement, and it appears that you have shut down your ability to think questioningly about this issue.
