Welcome to the Unpopular Opinion community!
How voting works:
Vote the opposite of the norm.
If you agree that the opinion is unpopular give it an arrow up. If it's something that's widely accepted, give it an arrow down.
Guidelines:
Tag your post, if possible (not required)
- If your post is a "General" unpopular opinion, start the subject with [GENERAL].
- If it is a Lemmy-specific unpopular opinion, start it with [LEMMY].
Rules:
1. NO POLITICS
Politics is everywhere. Let's make this about [general] and [lemmy] - specific topics, and keep politics out of it.
2. Be civil.
Disagreements happen, but that doesn’t provide the right to personally attack others. No racism/sexism/bigotry.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Shitposts and memes are allowed but...
Only until they prove to be a problem. They can and will be removed at moderator discretion.
5. No trolling.
This shouldn't need an explanation. If your post or comment is made just to get a rise with no real value, it will be removed. You do this too often, you will get a vacation to touch grass, away from this community for 1 or more days. Repeat offenses will result in a perma-ban.
Instance-wide rules always apply. https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/

I'm not atheist mate, so I don't believe teaching religion it's moral or not, I basically just follow one rule in my life involving this and it is: do to others what you would like others do to you or you can use the negative form if you prefer: don't do to others what you wouldn't like others to do to you.
I'm not against religion but I believe people should be allowed to follow any religion until at least 18yo, there are some people who say at 18yo human brain isn't totally developed so maybe it could be some years more.
You say that your not making a moral claim but in your original post you say that it can pose psychological or social issues. Which sounds like you're making a moral claim. Unless you're just making a subjective "moral" claim that you don't like people doing X. In which case that's similar to someone saying they don't like soda, candy, or a certain food. Meaning its just preference.
Thats a decent rule to live by but how do you prove that to be objectively true? How do you show that this moral system is true?
