Make it illegal to force another human into a religion
People should have the right of free will to grow up and make their own decision as to which religion they'd like to join, if they want to join one at all. The new age limit for choosing a religion should be 16 years of age.
It's a draconian tradition that parents are able to force their offspring into their beliefs and it's about time that we, as a civilisation, one that promotes freedom so strongly, evolved and take a huge step forward into allowing people to dictate their own paths in life, especially when you consider how much of an effect something as simple as a religious belief has on an individual's life. From birth to death.

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
We're not sure what action you would like Parliament to take. We understand that you are concerned about parents forcing their children to follow a particular religion. However, your petition seems to suggest that it should be illegal for anyone to follow a religion before they are 16. It is difficult to see how this could be put into law.
