The Devil is in the Details
...and his assertion that religious indoctrination of children constitutes child abuse.
I do not belive that is a reasonable conclusion. There are many types and degrees of religious indoctrination and they can range from constructive to destructive. I do agree that the current drive of YECs and Biblical Creationists is counter productive to their kids but I don't know if it is child abuse. I would say it is closer to making the kids wear funny looking clothes so all the other kids laugh at them.
It is certainly sad because what they are imposing on the kids is not just bad science, it is even worse theology.
