Re: Religion and Children - February 19th 2009, 06:42 PM

I agree. Kids need to be taught logic and reason. It's not wrong to present them with your religion, or other people's religions, but until a person is mature enough to make a decision reasonably, it will not make sense to them. They'll just go along with it because it's what their family wants them to do.

Unfortunately, the majority of religious people do not hold these same beliefs because they have been told that their religion is the only right way. And if they hold the belief that their religion is the only right way, what reason do they see to teach their children anything else?

That's the main flaw in religious thinking.
