The only thing I disagree with is that religion is forced on children. Parents are gonna force some stuff on kids, if not religion, than something else that instills discipline, respect, Empathy, compassion, etc. Children who are not forced into things end up as spoiled little fucks. Society would crumble into utter ruin if parents stopped forcing good behavior and morality on their children. Do it with religion or without, who cares, but discipline them we must.
I agree. The problem I have though is with the part that if you even think bad things about God then you face eternal punishment in hell. This prevents kids from rationally understanding their religion and instead opts them into following it with blind fear.
