Religious Indoctrination Of Children - Atheism UK Podcast #9

Religious Indoctrination Of Children In this podcast we look at the indoctrination of children into religion and the problems that arise from that. We wanted to be quite clear that the parents are not to blame, but we ask simply that theist parents just take a step back and think how this religious indoctrination may affect their children. The future of humanity is fragile. Our world has some spectacular issues. The act of putting God and the superstitions of the past behind us is the first step toward a more civil, rational and connected world. Teaching our children that it's OK to believe in the supernatural and superstition is setting them up for failure, to be gullible later in life when it really matters, as well as actively enabling the stunting of their education. Robbing them of the ability to use scepticism, and critical thinking is no way to help them approach modern life. Gullibility is how people walk into social indoctrination; it's how freedoms are eroded, it's how the dark regimes are created, survive and flourish. In the UK we have an organisation called 'Truth In Science' that promotes intelligent design. They are simply a creationist organisation promoting the 'teach the controversy' campaign started by the 'Discovery Institute' in the USA, which wants to drive creationist teaching into the scientific curriculums in schools, initially in America, but ultimately into the education systems across the western world and beyond. Both of these organisations try to give the false impression that they are legitimate scientific organisations, who are simply asking us to be sceptical, but not sceptical of wild claims such as the existence of god or gods, but the supposed wild claims and misconceptions of evolution. Giving the impression they are a scientific organisation (which they are NOT) is a desperate and dishonest approach, a devious deception that says everything about the moral and ethical code they have decided to live by. They will lie to manipulate and brainwash people, and the people they really want to manipulate and brainwash are the young. They want to lie to children, this is what angers many people who oppose having religion, the supernatural and pseudoscience taught as science in our schools.
