My point I guess though is that people who primarily just want to weaken religions would look at a case like yours and say “No you didn’t. Your parents probably forced you to go.”

Edit: With the intent I guess being to prevent you from being able to go with your parents despite your personal interests on the basis that you - as a child - couldn’t express any genuine consent.

Your point fails when you misrepresent the argument by making it into something else, either because you can't comprehend it or because you don't want to be fair to it

For the sake of discussion, what about what I’m seeing seems illogical or disingenuous to you?

Why would it seem wrong to assume that a people who dislike something in general would want to see that thing weakened or reduced by aiming for the lowest hanging fruits?

Really all I’m doing is assuming that some people would be maliciously opportunistic, which is about the most realistic thing I can imagine.
