> pigeonholing people into roles, making sure people know their place, and don't ask too many questions.

This has to be one of the best descriptions for religion that I ever read.

What you just said has to be one of the biggest generalizations for religion that I have ever read.

Not really: that is what you do with children in the stage and amount where you have determined they are too immature to properly understand.

I wrote about pigeonholing adults into the role of child caregiver, constraining their opportunities to do something else with their life. What they quoted applied to adults, not children.

And I made instead a clear statement that it «applies» to those which are considered children.

I am not following. Are you talking about pigeonholing adults who you think lesser of, or actual children?
