The fundamental arguments both for and against religion have been known for at least two millennia. No modern atheist really knows more, or has better arguments, than Lucretius had. Moreover, to use a term such as child abuse, with all its extreme connotations, of religious upbringing of children, however mild, is as intolerant in its own way, and certainly would be as nasty in its practical consequences if anyone took it seriously, as (let us say) theocratic Islam. Indeed, it smacks of very much the same mindset.
