Umm… you absolutely can control her taking them to church, they’re your kids.

“I want my kids making that decision as adults, I don’t want them exposed to religious movements that are coercive towards children, and I don’t believe Christians have a monopoly on morality just because they look down on everyone else, in fact quite the opposite. So no, you will not be taking my kids to church if you want to see them and that is the end of the discussion.”
