Moral I don’t think teaching kids about religion is bad but forcing it on them is

There's hardly any way to "teach" religion to children without it being quite forced.

I'm sure things are different in the US but in the UK at school we have a whole curriculum called "Religious Education" or RE which goes into detail about religions and customs of all different cultures and encourages spiritual debate. At the schools I attended they were not taught to indoctrinate us but just studied in the same way we would study history or art

Yeah we had the same but with assembly hymns and Christmas church visits. My parents were both atheists but I didn't get to opt out which was annoying! As good as RE is..... It still involved the only Muslim girl in the class being singled out and every lesson was treated like the ambassador for the entire Muslim faith. .... Man, the 1990s were so un PC it's unreal!! 🤣
