do parent have the right to force a religon

ok im 15 and my mom made my help put up a tent for my sister at vacation bible school, well after talking with her i told her about me being atheist and she said she dosent like this atheist stuff. So yea do parent have the right to force a religion on a child?

and if she does have the right just out of curiosity do thay also have the right to force a sexuality??

No. If you had Iraqi parents you'd most likely be muslim. If you had ancient nordic parents you'd be praying to Thor.

She can only force you to pretend and that would be extremely immoral.

Religion is what one makes of it. It isn't like she can force you to believe in God.hokies1313

Unless she's psychic, I don't think so. I think that if you're at her house, you have to follow her rules. It's only fair.BranKetra

Just Keep listening to Slipknot. That'll show her.

until ur 18 bud. she has every right.

technically if you live under thier roof, you do what they say, parents are your first teachers so they should be teaching you all they can about religion. ferrari2001

They're not really teaching him are they?

Eh I guess you've got a point there.

In my opinion no, the choice is up to you, try talking to them.

LOL wtf!? Does that really exist? Don't mean to sound offensive :/

Anyway I believe that parents should keep children away from religion until they are mature enough to make the choice for themselves. Sexuality should not be encouraged nor repressed, just let it develop naturally.

you're pretty much your parents property until you're 18

If you had ancient nordic parents you'd be praying to Thor.

Of course they can't force you to believe what they do, but you have to understand that they only want you to have what they have. A lot of people find strength and comfort in religion. If that's not your cup of tea then so be it, but try to keep an open mind for their sake ;).

Well honestly if his mother is just making him go to church then that's only a couple hours or so out of his week. He has a Slipknot signature and avatar so I doubt her rules imposed on him are overly strict. She can't force him to believe something and it doesn't sound like she's forcing him to pretend he believes in her religion. Of course I could be totally wrong but the impression I was left with is that she isn't really "forcing a religion" on him, just that she doesn't like him being atheist, which, given her beliefs, is understandable.

property = ownership. parents = masters.

Absolutely not. That is child abuse.

She better be forcing her beliefs on him other wise what a waste of my time TC :P the way he put it though I found quite funny it made it sound like she thought atheism was some new cult or something :P But if his parents are making him go to church I could appreciate why that would be frustrating I mean getting preached to and all but if she's not and all this comes down to is her saying she doesn't like the whole atheism thing and TC jumping to conclusions since no real examples of what she's doing has been presented yet anyway then no really TC thanks for wasting everyones time.

They can make you go to church, but they can't make you truly believe.

There's no way they can control what's inside you. They may not agree, but they can't stop it.
