If left to themselves children would be naturally agnostic or atheistic<br /><br />2. Christianity (again I note your reticience to identify Muslims in this regard) is naturally damaging to both people and society<br /><br />The first assumption is very roundly refuted by a study done by Dr Justin Barrett, a senior researcher at the University of Oxford's Centre for Anthropology and Mind. He found that not only do children naturally have faith in a deity but that they believe creationism over evolution! So who is doing the indoctrination here?!<br /><br />The second assumption is refuted by one of your own in britain, Matthew Parris. He knows what he is talking about having seen the poorest of the poor in africa and the effect of Christianity (interestingly reformed protestant Christianity at that). He claims that Africa needs God - socially and personally for each and every African.<br /><br />http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/comment/columnists/matthew_parris/article5400568.ece<br /><br />http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopics/religion/3512686/Children-are-born-believers-in-God-academic-claims.htmlDavid Geehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05748613864241647205noreply@blogger.com
