How many of you would punish religious people for being religious?

[abaris]

If people sincerely believe that their religion is true, then they just tell their kids what they think is true. If the kids later on hear good reasons to doubt, then they'll doubt.

Exactly. I had the good fortune of being brought up by a family who's second name could have been tolerance. They were mildly religious, but it was a mixed family anyway. Secular jews and secular christians marrying each other. Both of my grandpas were jews. Both of my grandmas were christian. They talked to me about religion, but never forced it on me. If I didn't want to go to church, it was perfectly OK.

Also, mostly my dad, taught me from a young age, to question almost anything. He always used, him being half jewish in the Nazi sense, examples from his childhood and youth. Such as Hitler arriving in Vienna and him being excited over the nice motorcade. He always pointed out that one should never go by appearance and never ever judge people on the group they belong to, but only on their personal character.

I know, many children aren't that lucky and are taught the exact opposite.
