Show 232: Children, Religion, Coercion, and Submission

Audio here!

What is the relationship between the way we are raised, and religion? Equal Time for Freethought explores the way in which our experience as children predisposes us toward certain religious attitudes and practices, and how religious attitudes and practices in turn influence the way in which we raise our own children.

Join Arnell Dowret and independent scholar Dr. Benjamin Abelow, author of the as of yet unpublished book, The Crucified Child. Also joining us is renowned education theorist, and author of Unconditional Parenting and The Homework Myth, Alfie Kohn.

Whether or not you know a child, or were ever a child yourself, this program will most probably offer some valuable insight into the experience of childhood through which most of us pass.
