I just think of the countless indigenous peoples of America forced into boarding schools. Made to change their beautiful names. Forced to dress according to the schools rules, instead of in their native garb. Abused in every way including religious abuse. They had their own spiritual practice. They were robbed of it. It just sickens me.

Exactly! I respect the Christians’ right to hold their views, and in our country at least, they should respect my right to hold my own (atheist) beliefs instead of forcing me to participate in their cultish rituals.
