    Exactly. Grew up Christian and it convinced me to be agnostic. Even then, I still would never add religious beliefs to the teaching of children early in life, when they clearly lack intelligent decision making skills.

      I think teaching about religion is fine and actually good for interacting with people outside your culture. Teaching of a specific religion is where you run into trouble.

      I had a unit early on in school and another one in my early teens where we basically learned about the origins of a bunch of different religions and cultures surrounding them. Learned a lot about people that otherwise would seem unapproachable to me.

        i’d say it’s totally logical to be 100% convinced that you can’t be convinced of god’s existence or non-existence

          I wouldn’t agree to the logical part, but sure. It was more a harmless joke than me trying to win an argument or something. =)
