I do wonder how many people take up religion because of their own free will and what percentage is just because they were brought up with it and not to question it.
I think baptisms or any form of religious indoctrination should also be banned for under 18s. If you're not old enough to cast a meaningless vote for a government that will ignore you anyway you're certainly not old enough to decide what to believe with regards to your existence, worldly conduct and the afterlife.
you really do not know what you are talking about. Banning the bible and other religious texts for those under 18 will not stop their parents and other members of society from influencing them with religion. I know people who are christians, who go to church every sunday and pray basically every night and still have not read the bible all the way through. Banning the book would do nothing.
You don't know what you're talking about. I said all sorts of religious events, thus including baptisms or indeed church attendance for under 18s. Please read what I say before criticising it.
So banning baptisms and going to church are going to stop the parents from influencing their kids? You don't need to go to church or read the bible to be influenced by christianity if your parents are christian and the same goes for every other religion. Half of the people who are christian at my school don't go to church on a regular basis. Also, most baptisms happen when the child is very young, usually too young to even remember it or even know why it happened.
I also doubt that barring people under 18 from churches would be a very popular suggestion anyways.
