Religion as Child Abuse?

Creationists In Action, Preying on Children The Bad Idea Blog
YouTube - Jesus Camp 1 of 9
'Surviving 'Jesus Camp'' by Josh Timonen - RichardDawkins.net

The first link is the one I want you to see, since its short, the second is the Jesus Camp documentary, and the third link is a review of Jesus Camp.

My question is this, do you think teaching young kids to believe that any science or any point of view that doesn't conform with the Bible is child abuse?

They are teaching these kids that the Earth is 6000-10000 years old, that dinosaurs lived with man, that no animal before the fall ate meat, and that all the dinosaurs were killed during Noahs flood.

They are being taught to only follow the churches and Bibles viewpoint. Would you consider this child abuse, how would these kids deal with differing viewpoints when they grow older?
