As Don rightly points out. Here in The UK we have laws to protect children from the obscene aspects of religion. It is a pity that the vast good people with faith are let down by their leaders who consistently fail to disown barbaric practices in their name.

Popes who actively covered up child abuse. Archbishop of Canterbury who consistently refused to disown Ugandan bishops who supported and encouraged the idea of death sentence for gay people. Mullahs who go quiet when their congregation is consistently suspected as being in league, wrongly, with those who use Islam as a tool for domination.

If I were prone to organised superstition I would be asking those I gave my money and time to what they are doing to be relevant to today's society.
