Link to Post at Atheist Analysis
There's really not much to respond to here. It's basically an anti-religion quote from someone famous and a short video with no arguments or explanation. This is why I have no problem linking to both the post and the video here. If it had any persuasive power I might have been tempted to not reference it. I would be interested in a presentation on what psychological abuse is and clinically accepted examples of it, then examples of how religious indoctrination qualifies for psychological abuse, and some peer reviewed journal studies on religious indoctrination and negative effects that are correlated with it. I can't imagine ever having a true experiment that proves this link, if any, since you would have to say you are randomly assigning a subset of the population to the experimental group with "psychological abuse" treatment. That would be unethical methinks. Try again atheists.
Update: 1/21/15
They uploaded a new version. I had to watch the first version above to see what the difference is. It's basically the same video with less sinister music. The power of AV media, huh? My criticism above still stands. A video without any real substance.
