Did you read what he wrote Fred? Manegarm didn't hate on religion at all. It's not even a region thread is a child thread.
You just didn't wait long enough.

My children are being raised Catholic.
They will make the choice for themselves when confirmation comes around.
I'm ok with it either way.

I could only teach and live by example..if they still turned in a foul direction, I would love them the same and pray for them all the time. I would be heartbroken if you want honesty.
My cousin was a non-believer..her mother, my aunt was always preaching at her..which caused a rift in their relationship.
Long story short..
My cousin got brain cancer in her late 30's..it was a horrible death for her..she was a wonderful, beautiful person. Her husband banned my aunt from her room because he said he could tell her trying to lead her to the Lord..upset her. She could no longer communicate..just give some expression, I guess her eyes were like swollen out of her sockets..sigh.
My aunt just was doing her best..by cousins hubby was doing his..but it was wrong for him to keep her parents from the room.
I always hope she listened in the end and accepted Christ..but we don't know. I just know my aunt was desperate because she knew her daughter was near the end. Was a very sad situation.

Perhaps to help you understand it would be helpful to ask the question in a different way.
How would you react if your child doused themselves with gasoline and started to flick a lighter? Would you just love them unconditionally and hope for the best? Have some scotch and perhaps argue with him over the actions they are partaking in?
Because *if* you believe that your child will experience incomprehensible suffering for all of eternity; then for a Christian to simply doing nothing so as not to appear a douche bag is the same thing as ignoring your child about to burn him or herself to death for an Atheist.
You can't understand Christians mode of thinking because you don't believe what they believe. The difference is what you believe in ends in nothing so it is easy to blow off.
This kind of God is exactly the type I could *never* support, no matter what - the kind that says 'follow this specific religion or suffer eternally.'
This would mean that you're basically playing the lottery with religions vs. suffering.
YOU believe you're following the right one...but so does every other religion. How would you feel if you were wrong, and you were going to suffer because you aren't <insert religion here>? Would you not feel cheated, that you picked a religion and worshipped faithfully, all to suffer because you didn't pick the right stick from the pile?

Turned in a foul direction? Sounds like you just described your children as being a rapists or a pedophiles.
Maybe your aunt should have been more accepting of others and not a bigot?
