    Children get indoctrinated into Islam and Judaism and inherit this conflict and its derived suffering from their parents. As an anti-theist, you should be able to see them as victims, rather than see the conflict as something positive.

      Am I a poor little victom instead of an oppressor because I didn’t personally create patriarchy, white supremacy, ableism, heteronormativity? If I keep supporting those systems, at least when I’m an adult, I am an oppressor and fully responsible.

      How does that track?

      Those kids have zero chance of growing up as anything other than the religion they’re raised in under even normal circumstances.

      The one good thing out of all of this, is at the end of the day there’s that many less believers in the world.

        You can definitely exit religion even growing up in a heavily religious environment, it seems you did in your own experience right?

        I grew up in Texas surrounded by Christians, while I was lucky enough that both my parents are… Not religious per-say (but maybe deist?) I wasn’t forced into religion either, I went to church many times with family and friends but never really “bought it” and eventually ended up as an atheist. My wife was Christian when we met and eventually also came over to atheism eventually after many many discussions and videos and evidence etc… people can be deconverted, it just takes a lot.

        I think the Internet helped me to not fall into the trap personally, and definitely helped with getting my wife out of it.
