For many religious people, raising their children in their faith is an important part of their religious practice. They might see getting their kids into heaven as one of the most important things they can do as parent. And certainly, adults should have the right to practice their religion freely, but children are impressionable and unlikely to realize that they are being indoctrinated into one religion out of the thousands that humans practice.
And many faith traditions have beliefs that are at odds with science or support bigoted worldviews. For example, a queer person being raised in the Catholic Church would be taught that they are inherently disordered and would likely be discouraged from being involved in LGBTQ support groups.
Where do you think the line is between practicing your own religion faithfully and unethically forcing your beliefs on someone else?
You are like a younger me who refused to see the 10,000 year history of abuse and realize that any system based on “because I told you so” us unethical and harmful to human life.

Teaching anyone that they must be judged by arbitrary, unprovable rules or face dire consequences is unethical.

All major world religions with many followers have arbitrary rules and dire spirital, and often physical, consequences for breaking them.
I am not here to argue specifics on religions.
I don’t think I could be more clear about why I believe teaching anyone religion as fact is unethical.

You refuse to address the “arbitrary” and “dire consequences” parts of my arguments by pointing at hypothetical religions. I will not respond to that.
To teach someone that they must follow arbitrary rules with dire consequences for failure is unethical.
You can decide what that means for religions.
