So teaching religion is "brainwashing" kids but not "child abuse".

Thank, you, Mr. Hairsplitter.

We're still waiting for your admission that it is up to the parents---and nobody else --to determine what sort of religious education--if any--a child receives.

As Joe and others have pointed out, there are lots of religious people who are willing to let others live their lives without imposing any religious requirements on them.   You, on the other hand, seem champing at the bit to stop all religious instruction---including of that of children of religious people.

Now who is the intolerant one, presuming to tell others how they should live?

Have you looked in the mirror lately?
