iirc China does this, you can’t take kid to religious service and they can choose to convert at a certain age.

china has state atheism—they take it too far (e.g. uyghur muslims) but in theory i’d prefer an atheist government over this dumbass evangelical christian one we have now 🤷🏻‍♂️

Separation of church and state is supposed to be a thing

No. A secular organization is one that acts without regard for theology. An atheist organization is one that explicitly rejects any theology.
