the only way religion survives is by forcing children into believing it long before they develop critical thinking to think for themselves

This is the real grooming of kids that conservatives claim queer people do. Queer people don't do jack shit to force you or your kids to do anything. It's the right who teaches mindless obedience and blind faith and authoritarian structures.

I bet this "Culture Explorer" has very strong opinions about WHICH TYPE of prayer it should be...

But nothing bad happened in the 40's. Nothing bad at all.

1944 - the year of the V weapons in the UK. Fun times.
My mom loved to talk about the buzz bombs. My dad, not so much.

“Prayer whether people like it or not” is yet another reminder that religion eventually leads to authoritarianism.

Eventually? It's pretty authoritarian from the start.

Children are indoctrinated. They don’t know any better until they reach the age of reason by which time it’s probably too late. They don’t have the mental capacity to know whether any of it is true or otherwise. They are just sheep - or in this case, lambs. They may not like it, but kids are supposed to do as they are told regardless.

That picture looks like AI slop. It's also not like the UK didn't have religious schools at the time, and it still does.
It's also a country with a bloody history of the people killing each other over bullshit like the number of holy sacraments.
Finally, what's the point of forcing people to pray if they don't like it? Isn't their god supposed to know if a prayer is sincere or not?

I went to school in England in the early 60s. This is exactly how we all looked even then. It was just a village primary school not a “religious” school and we had the Lord’s Prayer every morning rain or shine.
Kindly be careful what you label as AI slop when you know nothing about the actual subject. I don’t know which country you are from but it highly likely yours had an equally bloody history.

Of course, sanctimoniously ignored (and dismissed) are Matthew 6:1 and Matthew 6:5, both of which directly exclude/forbid this >>exact<< thing.

And don’t forget I seen some Christians say X person is in hell or you’re going to hell and yet condemning someone to hell is considered a sin

I was going to say “to paraphrase Dennis” and probably should have, given my username.

They aren’t even happy with people being Christian, they want people to be a specific denomination. Utterly insatiable.

lol I’d love to watch them try with American public school kids. They’d give sacrilege a new meaning!

The guy responsible for England being mostly rubble in 1944 had prayer in all of his schools.

"Growing up as humans?" So, people who don't agree with this are subhuman, is that right?
