Is Forcing Religion Down A Child's Throat Child abuse?
Are religious parents abusing their children by brainwashing them with supernatural idealogy while oppressing rational free will and thought? Is programming a demon and irrational myths into a childs mind Pschycologically depleting his or her natural evolutionary develeopment or concious?
Not abuse but certainly immoral.
It's not to be punished just frowned upon.
It's a shame though. Most modern religions actually force parents to push their beliefs to their kids, in some cases it is socially unacceptable (and even a crime ) not to do so.
Depends on your definition of abuse but it's wrong. People should learn to make sense of the world around them on their own and not be forced to conform to dogma.
No, because parents have legal full control of their child, especially in their adolescence.
Is it abuse? Hell no.
Is it wrong? Hell yes.
How is it any different from psychological abuse? Its a lessor extent of child abuse then say for example, sexual child abuse but still nonetheless a form of child abuse.
Yes. I've read stories online from LGBT kids whose parents force them to go to conversion camps or to churches and have them pray away the gay. I felt so bad for them
) not to do so.
