Dear Thinkers,
The custom of forcing faith on vulnerable children is an affront to our
notion of fairness and is simply a holdover from archaic ideas of
patriarchy supported by institutional religions as a way of gaining or
maintaining control of family life. There are many legal experts that
now advocate changing the whole notion of parental prerogatives.
Children are most certainly not the prop
erty
of their parents to do with as they wish. Moreover, international law
now recognizes children as person's in their own rights with legitimate
interests and rights of their own that may indeed conflict with the
wishes of their parents. The first step in overthrowing hereditary
religion must start where all revolutionary social change starts:
raising consciousness. Parents are the controlling vector for the
practice of forcing faith on children and those most open to change are
those wounded by the way religion treated them as a child. The web has
hundreds of self help sites where such apostates pour their hearts out
in poignant personal narratives. Fear is an obnoxious form of control
and fear is at the center of religious hegemony.
American
atheists and humanists may feel a greater sense of urgency on this issue
than others. The blog Ending Hereditary Religion contains content that
may surprise you.

The annual protest will be held again this year in cyberspace but the
goal is to eventually hold events in the real world. If I somehow
overlooked sending you an event announcement here are the details for
this years event.

Your participation will help make this event a historic happening on the road to a universal secular world.
