    I'm firmly of the beleif that no child should be indoctrinated into any religion and they should be given the chance at school leaving age to perform an informed, rational analysis of the different religions available to see if they chose to follow any.

    This would avoid a huge amount of the absurd ideas that different religions bring into impressionable minds.

    The majority of religions do not stand up to any sort of rational analysis as they offer no actual proof of the existance of their deity(s) and their mantra of "you have to believe in order to feel the proof" shows how silly that are.
