      I don't care whether its in accordance with Islam or not. I'm going with 'Let adults decide whether to uphold gender-specific modesty codes'

      Which also leads on to the argument that raising children religiously could also be a form of child abuse given that it is indoctrination

      Yes but this could be used for all kinds of views & get very authoritarian.

      In what way? Pretty much accepted that parents shouldn't force political beliefs on their children. I don't see how religious beliefs 1/2

      are any different. There are not Christian, Jewish or Muslim children. Just children who arent born with any political or religious beliefs

      I agree. But parents will tell their children what they believe to be true & morally right. If they are religious it will include this.

      My daughter is atheist & voted libdem like me in school mock-vote. I encourage free thought but can't keep my views away from her entirely.

      And we can't tell parents what views they are allowed to express at home & raise their children with if we don't want that imposed on us.

      Because the majority views will rule & 'indoctrination' will be whatever views they think clearly false & harmful. Atheists likely to suffer

      Not sure how protecting children from their parents religious beliefs & practices will make Atheists suffer. Children are born Atheists

      Atheists aren't the majority view in most places.

          They'd be the ones considered to indoctrinate children with false & harmful ideas.

          Agree and yet Atheists dont have ideas or beliefs. How can a lack of belief in the hereafter be considered harmful? We have a long way to go

          If the hereafter actually exists and you get tortured for eternity for not believing in it. They think that's true.

          They're wrong but society doesn't work on best arguments and evidence. It works on what most people think.

          That's why the idea of banning parents from teaching children wrong ideas is a really bad one. Just give them access to good ones at school
