Same goes for Christian children
No argument from me in that respect.
My family was Catholic - Mass every Sunday & crap like that - and when I finished primary school I was sent off, on a 5-day journey, to a Jesuit (boys only) boarding school. For them that don't know, the Jesuits are the elite storm troopers of the Catholic Church.
The difference is that Catholicism, including all the renegade offshoots since Luther, has mellowed and has no problem with members going off in different directions.
