"Educated from birth" brings in another wonderfully annoying element: what part is the government allowed to play in the education of children in evidentiary thinking, or to be blunt, religious education?
yup, that's a very slippery fish to hold.
i appreciate your tact, it's obvious you fully understand just how close to the nerve that one can go.
i don't see why atheism and (comparative) religion can't both be taught, and then let the child decide.
anything more religiously specific should be a matter of family and individual choice.
allow for respect for all belief-systems, as long as practicing them does not impinge on others' space.
