  • No, I would not.
  • My imagination is too paltry to imagine something like this.

Is it morally right to impart your belief system, be it religious, spiritual, or otherwise (including a lack of beliefs), to a child and involve them in a community of like-minded individuals (if applicable) before they have the opportunity to develop critical thinking skills on their own?

  • It is right because I will be saving them from incorrect belief systems.
  • It is right because I would be saving their soul.
  • It is wrong and I would wait until they could think critically for themselves to present my case in favor of my belief system.
  • It is wrong and I would let them figure things out for themselves without intervening in any way.
  • It is wrong. I consider it to be child abuse.
  • My belief system does not include the concept of morality.
  • This is a very complicated question to which I have never given any serious thought and therefore I currently have no conclusion that I can endorse.
