Is teaching your child about your religion mental abuse?

That said, I do absolutely agree that it's entirely possible to have morality without religion, just as you say. In fact, I'll say that the opposite view is outright absurd

Well, yes and no. Non-religious person can most certainly be moral, but if you look at the origins of morality, they are quite heavily rooted in religion. So yes, in the year 2008 it is entirely possible to be a 100% moral and decent human being without having a shred of belief in anything supernatural, but that is largely thanks to the countless centuries spent by the previous generations trembling before the wrath of the Almighty.

And what a splendid source to draw our morality from.
