For many religious people, raising their children in their faith is an important part of their religious practice. They might see getting their kids into heaven as one of the most important things they can do as parent. And certainly, adults should have the right to practice their religion freely, but children are impressionable and unlikely to realize that they are being indoctrinated into one religion out of the thousands that humans practice.
And many faith traditions have beliefs that are at odds with science or support bigoted worldviews. For example, a queer person being raised in the Catholic Church would be taught that they are inherently disordered and would likely be discouraged from being involved in LGBTQ support groups.
Where do you think the line is between practicing your own religion faithfully and unethically forcing your beliefs on someone else?
That just isn’t true, I literally agreed with you that it was wrong to teach children in that way 2 replies ago. These faiths aren’t hypothetical, I’m just simply not going to get tied down in speaking about the specifics of specific faiths because that’s unnecessarily complicated as you don’t need to educate someone on every aspect of a religion to pass on the cultural values and aspects of it.
Though I agree we’re at an impasse here and neither of us are able to communicate something valuable to the other at the moment. I don’t doubt you’re an ethical person, especially with the amount of thought and care you’ve put into this subject, for whatever that’s worth.
