I think he is saying that a whole lot of people are brainwashed since the time they are . . .well infants in some cases to "fear" God. You don't realize how difficult and frightening it is to go against that type of brainwashing and to actually have the audacity to question "belief" systems, like religious beliefs. IOW, a lot of people are kind of "forced" into it. They just don't realize it.
And I think a whole lot of people are brainwashed since childhood that God doesn't matter or doesn't really exist. It's a two-way street. But it's not my business to raise your kids and not your business to raise mine. If you want people to leave your kids alone you need to leave their kids alone. Everyone's world doesn't revolve around your opinion.
We see the video of kids being indoctrinated by religion but where are the videos of the parents teaching their kid there's no such thing as God? If one is "child abuse" so is the other, in my opinion. Setting aside the extreme examples as depicted in the video, (because I've never personally known any kids raised that way...) I have known kids raised in strong spiritual families and kids raised in atheistic families... there is a night and day difference in the people they become. From the level of respect they have for others to the respect they have for themselves. Their trustworthiness, their dependability, their general attitude toward life... just not comparable.
I'm not saying one is always bad and the other is always good, but generally speaking, the results speak for themselves. You think these little degenerate hellions out there shitting on the cop cars were raised in a spiritual family? Or were they probably raised by some immoral bitch who went around mocking God and making fun of religious people?
So basically, you think people need religion to be good people?
