And beside that, it is justified frequently for a huge number of reasons.

Are you agreeing with Kant that when the murderer comes to your door looking for his victim you must honestly tell him that she is in the attic?

The theists who believe their god has commanded them to save the immortal souls of unsuspecting children are acting out of their sincere convictions that the situation requires them to be less than honest about what they are up to.

But nuance doesn't work to well when you're looking through flash cards.

They get to liking playing soccer, but they have to listen to silly bible stories in order to play. There should be a law against this, and it has nothing to do with a permit. Teaching the bible to kids who's parents have no idea what's going on, or kids who don't want to hear it should be the same as yelling profanities at them. And parents who don't know what's going on should be looked at more carefully.

A baptism is essentially an unwritten contract, yet children, who cannot enter contracts, who cannot legally consent to sex with other children the same approximate age, nor vote, nor do many other legal adult activities, can still be baptized. The Christians have infiltrated the New Age channeling sites and posted their theologies about Jesus and such all over the place, Christian graffiti. They have made a mockery of Pope John Paul's II apology to Pagans and peoples of other faiths in the pursuit of power and domination of others.

if the proselytizing were done by another religion. Or even another philosophy, like Buddhism. They'd bring out the pitchforks.
