Why is Religion taught at such young age??

[simple-]

why not wait till the people are old enough? why the rush? I think there is a reason (bad one) behind it? what do you all think... we Don't learn how to drive till sixteen, why not do the same for practicing religions????

For muslims bro, Islam is a way of life, a complete religion...and the younger you are the easyer it will get for when you are older to deal with issues that life throws at you, good and bad...

Hiya Simple,

It's not a bad thing to introduce children to your religion as long as children have their own choice when old enough, to decide if they will follow it or not.

You cannot make your children muslim by force. Or for that matter catholic, budhist etcetera. Force doesn't work when it concerns spiritual matters.

Take Islam for example, teaching it to kids automatically put fear in them and gives them no choice but to follow it. Religions are taught by fear....

religions should not be taught as fear simple, thats incorrect

They should be taught as the oppositte. how you teach your kids is up to you, but as a way of fear and oppression goes against the nature or peaceful religion itself.
