There are many types of 'ignorant' - it usually comes down to viewpoint. Personally I don't think that any child should have any religion shoved down it's throat, would avoid a whole host of problems.

There's a difference between having religion shoved down your throat and learning about religions in order to understand and respect the billions of people who practice them daily.
