Should minors who wish to leave their parents' religion be given legal protections?

Of course, and it should have to be based on an opt-in and not an opt-out (so as an example, it would never be legal to take children too young to communicate to a religious event).

Asinine. I presume it should be illegal to take babies to their grandparents’ house as well.

Atlas has a handful of people with, ah, unique moral frameworks. There's really no point in arguing with someone who thinks adultery is okay and baptism is unacceptable. Completely different wavelengths.

If this would prohibit parents from requiring their minor children to attend religious services or events, then no. If this is about kids who get abused, beaten, thrown out, etc for leaving their parent's religion, then of course, and it should be punished harshly. I believe there should be very harsh punishments for parents who neglect or abuse their children for any reason (probably harsher than whatever we have now), but there don't need to be separate laws handling the same criminal actions based on the reasons they happened.
