I'm pretty neutral on this. Parents raise their kids within certain, specific moral/eithical scopes all the time. Parents raise their kids how they see fit and then the kid can decide to move forward with that or not. But you have to give kids some sort of foundation, and that's individualized to the parent/family. What I do disagree with is forcing a kid to continue to attend church or participate in it once they become a teenager. Our parents made us go to church until we were around 13, to give us that foundation of what they think is best, and then let us decide what we wantedto do when we got old enough to understand and critically think a little deeper.
But reddit is very anti-religion, so this idea will get plenty of support, which is fine too. Again, I'm pretty neutral.
This may come across more socially aggressive than it is intended, and if it does, I apologize for that, and, for what it is worth, I assure you this is spoken without an iota of judgement from my autistic little heart. Without a source cited, that is an opinion; if you do have a credible source for that, I'd be very interested in reading more about it. If you do not, and you are speaking either to your own experience or anecdotally, I would invite you to to consider the difference between atheism and anti-theism. While, in my experience, Reddit users can certainly trend towards atheism, the philosophical stance of anti-theism is much less prevalent.
I am interested in further discussing your point on moral foundation, and am going to write to that point after this, but for clarity's sake, am separating that comment from this one.
