    The religious would never agree to that. Their kind of indoctrination works best when done from birth, before the children have any chance to develop critical thinking skills.

    In fact, it’s better to stop them developing those entirely, cause once they do, it becomes a lot harder to pull them in, cause they’ll always start from a place of doubt, especially if they’ve been educated well.

    Indoctrination’s worst nightmare is a well educated public who are allowed to be sceptical of you.

      Yep, the final nail in the coffin of me trying to make myself believe I was Catholic so that I wouldn’t go to hell was encountering the “real world” and finding it wasn’t the Satanist hellhole I was raised to believe.
