My own religion
Do such parents bother with doctors or dentists? Do they take their car to a faith healer when it breaks down? Do they get a carpenter to fix their central heating boiler when it breaks down?
I find it hard to believe then that they don't see the dishonesty in using religion to cherry pick scientific facts. So yes, it is their choice, but how honest they are being is open to interpretation. If one of their children is ill, would they want the best medical care? Only medical research is entirely predicated on the fact of species evolution and shared ancestry, so again they can pretend it isn't, but that seems like wilful ignorance to me, and that seems dishonest. Their choice of course, like not going on a cruise just in case the world really is flat, but teaching your child the world is flat, even if you believe it to be so, seems dishonest to me. I feel desperately sorry for children who have their education ruined in such a way.
Maybe I'm missing something?
Yeah, it is not just religions in the end.
It is that some people do subjectivity and objectivity differently than others and that is not limited to religion.
