“Parents have no god-given license to enculturate their children in whatever ways they personally choose: no right to limit the horizons of their children's knowledge, to bring them up in an atmosphere of dogma and superstition, or to insist they follow the straight and narrow paths of their own faith.”

Even if their preacher does not them that (and i completely agree with you John, regarding the encouragement of young families) I honestly do not see what this speaker is suggesting we do otherwise, and I do not know if I like his alternatives.
