Yet, thankfully, strong-minded individuals can think for themselves and overcome the brainwashing.

To understand the concept or to freely embark on their own spiritual journey.

The parents, themselves indoctrinated at a young age, believe cramming religion down the throats of their children is a moral imperative.

To the contrary, such indoctrination is an immoral abuse of human beings too young to defend themselves against lifelong manipulation by charlatans and other authority figures who've used religion throughout history to further their own pursuit of wealth and power.

How you say?

Because SCOTUS in Carson v. Makin decided that a state that makes public funds available to privately funded schools may not exclude on the basis of closely held beliefs being taught as mandatory religious courses within an institution.

Perhaps a Go Fund Me for the Satanic Temple and The Church of the Subgenius, maybe they'd apply for public funds and usher in a whole new age of reasoned slack!

They could open 'em up down the street from Samuel Alito's Mom's Satanic Abortion Clinic

Praise Bob!

May reason rule.
