I can’t think of a rule more likely to drive children into religion than banning children from religion.
Couple that with the very natural existential crisis moment kids have when they really start thinking about their own mortality and you’ve got a recipe for another religious Great Awakening.
I’m gonna go out on a limb and say religions are doing great at driving the next generations away by doing whatever they’ve been doing.
I know this is probably not going to be a popular take but honestly that seems pretty distopian as in many cases it’s pretty hard to separate religion from culture so are you really going to force a Hindu family to feed their kids beef cuz they aren’t old enough to practice a religion that happens to be a part of their Indian culture I know amarica has failed a lot at being the land of the free but this just seems like a step in the wrong direction
I respectfully disagree. It’s rooted in patriarchy, which utilizes religion as a method of systemic reinforcement. There are plenty of religions that aren’t sexually repressive.
I suspect this as well. Most people alive today were born into a highly religious culture. 85% of America was Christian in 200 and it was even higher the farther back you go
Religion.

There are areligious people who are nevertheless puritanical.
Sure, but they’re just victims of cultural spillover from religion. It’s all rooted in religion.
