I agree. There is no need for religious indoctrination of any sort. And any sort of mutilation such as circumcision is disgusting and should not be allowed either. You shouldn't get to carve your kids up how you see fit because of your stupid beliefs. I know that you'll try and make up some shit about health benefits, but that's not what why you're doing it and there's no evidence either. So cut up your own willy but leave your innocent child alone.
Sure, when a kid is really young, they need a little "reality indoctrination", there are some things they simply must accept for their own safety and wellbeing, but that they can't yet fully understand. But in time, you'll be able to explain exactly why you put such importance on those things, and they'll understand and accept them from then on because they have sound reasoning behind them. On the other hand, there is never any need at all for any religious indoctrination, and you totally can't ever explain why you needed to do it later on, either. So these two things are not the same.
