There are atheists on the Internet who say that raising a child with religion is child abuse.
Child abuse is illegal.
So if they're serious in what they say, and not just talking shit for effect, then they advocate the involvement of the government (like Child Family Services) to intervene with, if not punish, religious parents.
Atheists on the internet? We're setting the bar pretty low aren't we? Wouldn't you be annoyed with an argument premised on "theists on the internet say x"?
And you'd be justified in thinking that. Because it's strawmanning.
