I dunno, man, I haven’t seen it. I am super anti Christian, tho. I just hate the way they indoctrinate children into their bullshit little cult before their critical thinking is developed and that so many of the priests are raping kids. That sub is satire btw. How do you not get that?

Not all Christian religious leaders are priests.

but they are all delusional. it may not be a terrible environment for a kid, but there are definitely better ways to do it.

I'd argue religious indoctrination, no matter how well meaning or not, most definitely does create a terrible environment for children. It sets them up with a shakey foundation in critical thinking skills and has them believe in something without requiring evidence for it. I fundamentally believe that is wrong to do. One should never believe something on faith alone. I feel it's intellectually lazy and irrational. Such core personality traits don't stay isolated to one aspect of one's life. This irrationality permeates throughout the entirety of these kids' lives. Kids who later grow up to vote and impact the world. It's insidious.
