Many claim that God speaks directly to them, often in dreams, and believe that Christians are called to wage a spiritual battle for control of the United States.
These people are dangerous.
And mentally ill.
I increasingly feel like religious indoctrination in childhood creates a kind of mental illness or disability by disrupting the development of critical thinking skills.
This is not accidental. Many religious scholars have talked about the need to “instruct” children when they’re very young - by the age of three or four.
Teaching children religion is child abuse. It happened to me and it was abuse. My parents didn’t realize it and I forgive them because they were abused by it too but we need to start calling it what it is.
