You forget that evolutionists practice the same thing. Many children are taught that dinosaurs lived millions of years before they are taught how to spell. Humanism permeates every aspect of education today and students get indoctrinated instead of educated.
One point I would like to make clear is that EVERYONE targets children. Everyone tries to instill their belief on others, and there is nothing wrong with that. However, many groups like humanists, environmentalists, evolutionists, and new-agers use subterfuge and lies to brainwash kids. We Christians are very overt and straightforward about evangelism. We don't try to sneak in the back door, we enter by the gate. Good Christian parents raise their kids according to the Word of God. However, they have to compete with all this secular poisoning daily. That is why most kids lose their faith by their freshman year of college. Think carefully before you juxtapose Christianity and tobacco.

The problem with this is that en masse, people are necessarily morons. People generally cannot think for themselves because they are slaves to their childhood conditioning, both physically and emotionally.
A Christian without Jesus is like a baby without a Mommy. It is literally inconceivable to the Christian that he may be wrong. This is why it's going to take the passing of a few generations (all of them, BTW, expecting Jesus to "return" in their lifetimes - Just like the disciples themselves thought!) - before we can truly evolve and receive any more enlightenment.

In general, the answer is that yes, they do. But for entirely different reasons.
The church believes that 90% of people who aren't "saved" by age 18 will never be "saved". They believe that everyone who isn't "saved" will go to hell and that their duty is to "save" everyone. Therefore, yes, they do try to get to them young. But not for any otf the reasons that the tobacco companies do.

Yes, religion should be illegal for minors. They should check ID's outside the gate.
ALL church leaders know darn well, that if they allow small children to develop their own opinion nobody would believe the crap (... and put their envelope in the basket ....)

Sounds about right. It's all brainwashing. If they chose a religion when they were adults, that's different. But forcing it on them should be illegal.

The problem with your theory is that it assumes that all people are morons and incapable of making there own decisions unless they avoid that dreaded sprinkling of water.
