When I was 6 (I am the eldest of 4) my parents sent me to Sunday School. Not because they were religious, but because it was convenient to have me out of their hair on Sunday afternoons, ;-), and I would be with lots of other kids. That was the theory. But after the first Sunday School class I (6 years old) came home bawling my guts out "HE DIED FOR US, HE DIED FOR US" as if the world had ended!
My parents, as you would expect, were shocked and never let me go there again.
But that was half a century ago. One would expect that the world had progressed since then, wouldn't one? But is hasn't.
I also went to Sunday school when I was younger (4-5) and I spent a good amount of my childhood scared for my mother because she didn't believe in god. I can't tell you how many times I bawled my eyes out because my Mum was going to hell!
To the OP, I have absolutely no idea why one of the most advanced countries in the world is so backwards when it comes to religion, but I can't tell you how glad I am I live in Australia.
