Don't get me wrong, I like government, but I still wouldn't want to see the government removing kids from non-abusive homes because the parents make the kid go to church.

But if religion is harmful...shouldn't the children be removed from religious homes on the basis of mental abuse, regardless of popularity? Would that include all kinds of religion (like voodoo,fire worship,ancestory,sorcery, witchcraft), or only those that the goverment designates as harmful (like christianity)?
