Why is it that when a “religious” person teaches their child their belief system it is brainwashing, but..?
A non-religious person teaches their children to look for facts and a religious person teaches their children to ignore facts. It’s the difference between showing a child reality and teaching a child that fantasy is reality. One is teaching the other is indoctrination. Edit–I didn’t say a non-religious person was teaching truth. I said they were teaching their children to look for fact. Facts are undeniable they point in the direction of truth. As facts build up, truth becomes apparent. The more facts available the less speculative truth becomes. A religious person does things in reverse, starting with the assumption of truth and ignoring or discarding facts that point to a contrary definition. There is no animosity in that statement. Religion simply is not based on fact it is based on faith. In order to have faith in something one must believe it is true. To believe a thing is true one must discard contrary evidence. Judging by the vast numbers of religious persons who reject science
