You are doing atheism not a favor by exaggerating (or wrong portrayal) like this.
Hmm, how should I have titled it then? I mean isn't that the whole point of religion to incite fear by telling children they will go to hell if they don’t participate in religious activities, and flagging that as child abuse is seeing religion as child abuse?
I think the issue is that your thread title didn’t mention ‘forced participation’.
Japan hadn’t determined that religion per se is child abuse, only that some aspects of some religions are abusive. Your bolded portion, for example - not every religion sends sinners to hell.
