From the petition:
Children have the right to their own thoughts, including their thoughts on religion. Because of religious hegemony around the world, children are herded into temples, churches, and synagogues without their consent and forced to endure dogma and superstition. The decision to take up a religion or remain free of religion belongs to an adult mind fully aware of the consequences such a decision will have. Usurping the right of a child to remain free of religion until they are adults is unethical, no matter the motivation of a parent.

I agree with you,totally.
However, the parties who herd children into madrasas, temples, sunday-schools and school-based indoctrination classes, are folk with intense
self-righteous ideology. Their point of view says : ” catch them young “.
Brainwash before they learn to question and before it is too late to capture their
their minds.
These are forces of traditional evil who think they are doing ‘ the LORD’s
ordained good works.
What’s to be done ???
