Which means the Muslims and Atheists can discriminate against the “Christians” to prevent kids from being raised in mentally abusive homes! The law will go both ways!

Can’t wait to see “Christian” heads explode when they find that out.

From “The March of Folly” (1984), by Barbara W. Tuchman, page 384:
“The Turkish Janissaries were the better-known military arm of a larger body–the Kapi Kullari, or Slave Institution–which filled every civil post from palace cook to Grand Vizier. Made up of Christian children taken from their parents and brought up and exhaustively trained by the Ottoman Turks for official functions in what may have been the most complete educational system ever devised, they were legally slaves of the Sultan, converted to Islam, forbidden to have families or own property.”
