As a society we do not discourage children being exposed to religion believing we are providing them with moral guidance and spirituality. From the time of circumcision and baptism through Sunday school and catechism we smile benignly as children repeat creation myths, stories about Noah's ark and giant fish swallowing prophets who live in the belly of a whale. Are we sparking their imaginations or suppressing their ability to think critically? In a free society how can this practice be discouraged? Should parents and other adults who take part in this process be under psychiatric care?
