"Coercive control" is now a crime in the UK. Telling ANYBODY, let alone a child, that they'll go to hell unless they XY and Z is clearly an attempt at coercive control by my mind and so should be illegal. A particularly striking example is where the fundies say "You have to BELIEVE or you'll go to hell" as nobody is in control of what they believe, people just believe what they perceive to be the truth.
