Amazed that non-Christian parents are okay with their children being forced to adhere to requirements of another faith.
This is how factional violence begins...making a state religion & imposing it on nonbelievers.
Checks notes on the centuries of Irish & English religious wars, Arabic nations & religious wars, & religious wars in Asia

@GottaLaff@mastodon.social @david1@mastodon.world @Npars01@mstdn.social Teachers should teach from The Orangeman’s Bible, or Catholic Bible or The Book of Mormon or the Adi Granth (Seik). And focus on the books that are different. Result: big religious organizations will weigh in a beat each other up, demonstrating quickly the fundamental reason this is dumb and untenable. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deuterocanonical_books
