(805 posts)drilling one particular religion into a child's head is what I don't agree with. I see nothing wrong with giving children a vast array of things to learn. I didn't have a particularly religious upbringing, my parents really did not go to church unless for a wedding, funeral or it was our local polling place. For a time I went with the grandparents, wasn't keen on that so it wasn't for very long. My husband's parents tried their very best to make him into a Johovah's Witness, which thankfully didn't work. At about 10 years old he began refusing to go to church. Of course because he did not choose to be a JW, he is excommunicated from his parents. What I mean is adults can make decisions for themselves if they want to be religious or not. Like I said, I'm not judgemental to another's beliefs. It's not my place to judge their feelings. I just expect the same in return. If a Christian is picking on you, I would defend your right to belief as you wish to them too.
