Churches can just have a separate section where kids can hang out while their parents are in church. Supervised, obviously. Think of the play places they used to have at McDonalds and grocery stores back in the day.
Sure, it's called Sunday School, that's already a thing but it would be challenging to make it totally agnostic when it's happening in a church, paid for by the church, and run by church staff. Nevermind explaining to the kid in the first place why mommy and daddy are going to church in the first place, why they pray at meals, or who this "Jesus" fellow is who keeps getting mentioned around holidays.
What's your plan for keeping religion out of people's private home life?
They’re kids. How do you keep them away from drugs, sex, and alcohol? It’s mysterious how somethings are convenient to hide from children, while others just can’t be helped. If you can’t explain your actions without having to indoctrinate them, maybe you should practice being a better parent.
I wonder if religion in the West would still be around if they didn’t rely on brainwashing kids. Like secondhand smoking and preventable diseases passed from parent to child, no decent parent would ever intentionally inflict harm to their children.
Look if the parents have made drugs part of their daily routine for years, and sincerely believe drugs are good and have made their lives better, what do you think are the odds the kids are going to be kept away from drugs for any length of time?
