what religion tells you to dishonour your parents and those of you that have kids you bring them up in the manor which you think is morally and religiously correct

Religious correctness is in the eye of the beholder. Moral correctness is in the eye of society.
Your question about speaking English in respect to your parents - that has no bearing on religion, what you're suggesting there is that you shouldn't speak another language because your parents taught you this one. How does this relate to converting to religion?
If a child thinks that his parent's religion is wrong, it is a fault of the parent if they punish the child for thinking so. Children AND adults should be allowed to think for themselves and decide what way is best for them.

I'm not sure if your issue is with people who don't speak English as a first language, some religion you chose not to identify for us or a 'proselyte'.
English is not my first language and was not the first language of my parents. I do not dishonor them by speaking (and writing) English well enough to earn a living doing such things.
I'm not aware of any religion that teaches you to dishonor your parents. Please identify the religion of which you speak so any confusion you may have about their dogma can be rectified.
I've never seen the word 'proselyte' before. Were you trying to indicate a dislike for those who proselytize because your parents spoke English? Why would you dislike someone else because of the language your parents spoke?
You may want to rewrite your question. It is painfully apparent that you have not yet mastered the English language very well. Since it is apparently your first language, I'm going to guess you must be very young. If you ask your parents, I'm sure they'll help you write the question in a more clear and concise manner. If more people can understand the question, of course more people will respond.
ETA - Felicity, thank you so much for the explanation of the word 'proselyte'. Even though I deal in words for a living, so to speak, I do frequently run into words I don't understand or have never seen before. Thanks again for taking the time to educate those of us who did not know!

Strictly speaking, a proselyte is someone who converts to Judaism. (OED). The word has come to be used as a general term for a convert. I do not dishonour my parents. I respect my parents (Christians) and their beliefs, but those were their beliefs and I no longer see, in the Christian Church today, the principles which they taught me. So much hate against other religions, races, people of different skin colour and people from other parts of Europe. Where does Christianity stand in the midst of this Mayhem? No where. It makes no statement whatsoever. On the contrary, people who think they lead the world and profess to be Christians are busy killing others of different persuasion, persecuting, torturing and humiliating them. There's nothing Christian in that.
I've found my religion. It's not Jewish, Christian or Muslim, but it has it's roots in all three. And it suits me.

Well, basically the upbringing should be based on practical approaches rather than what a religion teaches us, because of religion people have grown so much as to despise other people, this is seriously not what should be taught to our bairns,
And I don't really believe any religion teaches us to dishonour any parents, so a mix of religion and practical approach can lead to prosperity

What has the language to do with religion? If you move to a foreign Country and start speaking their language, is this meaning you are dishonouring your parents?

Jesus tells us that it is necessary in some circumstances:
Matthew 10:34 “Do not think that I came to bring peace on earth. I did not come to bring peace but a sword. 35 For I have come to ‘set a man against his father, a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law’; 36 and ‘a man’s enemies will be those of his own household.’ 37 He who loves father or mother more than Me is not worthy of Me. And he who loves son or daughter more than Me is not worthy of Me. 38 And he who does not take his cross and follow after Me is not worthy of Me. 39 He who finds his life will lose it, and he who loses his life for My sake will find it.
Jesus, of course, was quoting Micah 7:6.
Bottom line: God commanded us to love HIM above all others. If your father and mother dishonor Him, you must follow after God and leave them behind.
Peace.

Considering your ownership of the English language, you are a shame to your parentage in the way you mangle your writing.

Who told you that you speak English?
You certainly can't write it!
