Young parents: Keep your children away from religion. Don't teach them Hinduism, Islam, Christianity or any religion when they are too young to question it. Don't take them to temples, mosques or churches and tell them this is what they are supposed to believe. Just let them grow - Let their brain develop before filling it with beliefs they never chose. Teach them science. Teach them critical thinking. Teach them to question everything, including you. Teach them to ask 'why?' and not accept 'because God says so' as an answer. Religion teaches fear very early. Fear of God, fear of sin, fear of punishment, fear of questioning. And blind faith is almost the exact opposite of critical thinking. You cannot build a scientific temper in a brain that has already been trained to be scared of asking questions. Then there is accountability - Karma and fate are the softest lies ever sold. The moment you can outsource everything to God, karma or destiny, personal accountability becomes very easy to escape. The rituals are not the real damage. The real damage is the exit door religion can build for accountability. Instead teach a child: your decisions have consequences. If you make a mistake, understand why. If you fail, learn. If you don't understand something, question it. And if someone makes an extraordinary claim, ask for evidence. And if after growing up, thinking independently, reading about different religions and questioning all of them, your child decides to believe in one, absolutely fine. At least then it is their belief. Not yours installed in their brain before they were old enough to question it.
