Raising kids in a religious environment is child abuse.

what an unnecessary .sig

very untrue as well, any atheist or agnostic (like me) with a proper mindset would not conclude this. just because you may have had some bad experiences doesn't mean that every child growing up in a religious environment is abused.

please think about removing it, because you will not achieve anything positive with it. you'll just irritate people, and induce flame.

i know this is OT, but i don't mind wasting some karma on this.
