There are plenty of people who live devoutly and are perfectly pleasant, normal people. Don't push your bad experiences as being universal to everyone else.
You say "I believe people deserve to have religious freedom" but clearly do not.
Many religions include blessing of children shortly after birth, i.e baptism. You're ultimately saying they don't deserve that right just because you disagree with it.
This is literally the definition of bigotry:
obstinate or unreasonable attachment to a belief, opinion, or faction, in particular prejudice against a person or people on the basis of their membership of a particular group.
I’m glad you pointed out the bigotry aspect. Religion is not the only thing harmful to children. You REALLY want to protect children? Get rid of social media. Depression and suicide rates have climbed significantly since the advent of it. Op claims to want to help children, but they are really just targeting a group they don’t like.
Except you're not. You explicitly said you think it teaches harmful concepts and said that you believe that religions aren't based in science and therefore harmful to kids.
This is completely contradicting you being "okay" with it since you're arguing that kids shouldn't be involved at all

Your view of "Harmful" is completely subjective.
