I have a right to smoke and I exercise that right. I smoke cigars every day. I know the consequences of that but I do it anyway. I do not smoke in public or indoors even at home. I don't even smoke in the presence of my dog for fear that I might cause him harm. I restrict my smoking to myself and don't inflict it on anyone else. I do not promote smoking. It's my choice and my choice alone. To smoke, you have to be of legal age. An age where you can make an informed educated choice and accept the responsibility for doing so. My cigars are severely taxed more than any other product. They have a warning label.
This should be the case with religion. Because religion is an individual right, not a public right. Those that sell religion are responsible for the harm that their product inflicts and it does inflict harm.
Religion just like tobacco is a product, a vise. It causes addiction in much the same way. You shouldn't be exposed to it until you are of an age to take responsibility and can make a choice to do so.
