    Children needs to be taught religion in a way they can comprehend the reasons to believe them, and make them understand what they’re believing in it. Otherwise cults can take over to exploit the lack of knowledge in religion.

      If there were any valid reasons to believe a religion was true, there wouldn’t be a problem with teaching it in school.

      It would be better to teach critical thinking and how to recognize logical fallacies. No need to teach one specific scam that people fall for.

      Children need to be taught religions/cults are a means to bypass their logic and reason and appeal to their emotions, usually because they want something from them.

      Especially the religions/cults that have high pressure recruitment.

      And remember, the only difference between a cult and a religion is scale.
