• What Would Jesus Do?- A deliberation on the immorality of subjecting a child to religious indoctrination. on May 11, 2011
  
  I agree with Richard Kerr that this essay is a good starting point. John Duff has provided good information and statistics on the current state of religious education, and its often-overlooked societal costs, including prejudice, ethnocentrism, cognitive regulation, deceitfulness, and pseudo-science. Like Sam Harris, Duff points out that while there are also positive effects to any kind of religious indoctrination, these benefits can also be achieved in other ways that do not entail misinforming our children or creating unnecessary and divisive prejudice.
