""In addition, religions talk to children about God as if he's an absolute certainty. That automatically makes religions liars.""

To put it into another perspective - for analysis purposes only- parents tell their children a number of imaginary characters are real such as Santa, the Easter Bunny, the Tooth Fairy and a multitude of other fabled characters, and talking animals in stories and cartoons. In some cases kids can even sit on their knee, to prove they are real.

I hardly expect that this scars kids for a lifetime? I expect, (and their is likely evidence to back it up), as they reach the "age of reason" these young adults realize (through sound reasoning, on their own) that these characters are not real? They then "move on" to freely make their own informed choices in life to move forward with or without these imaginary, and harmless childhood chararcters in their lives. Is it not so? If so, is there not a degree of parallel in parents choice to expose their children to religion, and related positive messages?
