How can children be protected from religious people who try to manipulate them into their cults?

Should children be told to be suspicious of religious people, to distrust them and suspect them of trying to lure and entrap them into a system of lies? Is it ok to teach children that religious people are a bunch of liars, morons and generally people of unethical principles?

  1. Wow, look at the hatred spew from you. Tell my kids ‘m a lying moron with unethical principles and they are going to look at you like YOUR a moron.

  2. No more religious private schools allowed. We all know why they have such institutions. And for the kids that do not belong to such institutions but still get constantly exposed to the concepts and the people, I warn the kids about such ideas and simply educate them about reality and encourage question asking

  3. Not distrust them, but tell them to have their own opinion. Not a opinion of a crazy fundie.

  4. Teach them in schools to think critically and question everything instead of being a mindless, thoughtless robots

  5. If they are your children, you can tell them that. If they are my children, don’t tell them anything.

  6. I think we should protect and defend children from religious indoctrination with the same vigor that we protect them from pedophiles.

    Known Christian cultists should be identified and restricted in their proximity to children. By "cultist" I would include all Fundamentalists and bible-literalists, pentacostels, evangelicals, Mormons, etc…

  7. Superstition is dangerous. Children should be shielded from religion, which is child abuse.

  8. No that way but we can teach then to always keep an open mind and not believe everything about a religion blindly.We can also gradually teach them how to discriminate so that nobody is able to overpower their impressionable mind.

  9. Why do you people encourage this disturbed person? Really now? I mean really. Desiree, has issues. Why give her a validation pass because she is an atheist.

    To those who see nothing wrong with her posts.

  10. Suggest having a good baptist youth group get involved and then you will not have to worry about the cults.They will know the truth and the truth will protect them from hearing lies.The cults are growing stronger because the return of Christ is susposed to be prior to the One World Govt & that is now being put together for Dec.21,2012.
