>>I'd like to see children educated in all manners of religion (including ways of no religion) before they are expected to make any choice about it. I'd like to see a law where nobody should legally be considered a member of any religion before age of consent. Then they'd be entitled to make a qualified decision.

>Now wait...you say you wouldn't send anyone to anyone's door peddling unreligion. But, you'd make a law to enfore YOUR beliefs that children should be proteceted from the church?

Proteceted? It could be equally argued that you want them to be completely unproteceted, so their parents' religion would just be granted free access to them before they can make qualified decisions.

And, I don't make laws, and don't wish to make them. I know how laws are made. It's just my wish that the civilization gets to the stage where such a law is democratically enacted. I.e. the general consensus first, then the law to make it official. As means of getting there, I don't propose anything stronger than just talking here, among adults.

If one of my kids becomes a member of any religion, I'd sure be disappointed, and sure won't do anything to help their cause (wouldn't even borrow the car) - but I'd respect her decision. How about you - if one of yours decided to switch to Buddhism, Islam or zero?
