    Religion and culture are intertwined. If you believe in a religion then you will inevitably think it is right to pass it on down to the child, same as other aspects of culture and tradition.

    Turning this into a morality thing is fucking stupid and probably chauvinistic because it is inevitably going to hurt marginalized more than western ones. Like this is one step from white man's burden if you expand the idea globally.

    If there is a reactionary element to a religion/culture/tradition then that part can be educated out without suggesting people are no longer allowed to teach their children things that are important to them.

        Religion, especially deeply religious upbringing entwined with culture, are extremely common in the global south.

        The idea that certain cultures and religions are damaging was the justification for white man's burden.
