You don’t think this sounds like a call to disallow (suppress) the religious tutelage of children?

Unpopular opinion time...when we allow religions to groom and brainwash children to beleive some pretty crazy ####, we shouldn't be all that surprised that they grow up to be adults that are susceptible to even more crazy ####.

Personally I'd love to see laws that protected children from being indoctrinated before they have critical thinking skills, but I know that wouldn't fly. No religious attendance until you are 18, then you can make up your own mind.

That’s pretty radical stuff, no?
Anyway, it’s pretty clear none if this stuff, including removing tax exemptions for churches, is going to happen anytime in the next few decades. I just think it’s worth taking a step back and recognizing that despite all the the thanks these sorts of remarks get on CP, they’re far outside the Canadian mainstream.
