pass a law forbidding the forcing of children into religion

Created by A.B. on March 07, 2015

Children are not born with any particular belief. It is absolutely wrong to impose anything on them as their minds are developing. Children may be put in danger by exposure to religion, as there have been high instances of pedophilia among religious officials, and religious rituals and "faith healers" have led to many children's deaths. If an older child stops believing in the faith they have been taught, the continued forcing of it on them can have severe mental health consequences, up to and including suicide. There should be a law preventing parents from imposing their beliefs of their children until at least age 7 and a law should allow someone after the age of 13 to opt out of a religion if they chose. A valid religion wouldn't need to force people to follow it.
