The same committee that will review the Book of Mormon found the Bible "does not contain sensitive material as defined by Utah Code," according to a district spokesperson, but contains "vulgarity and violence" that caused concerns over age appropriateness.

Religion is a sensitive material as long as one is not yet of age. I'm generally against making children who don't know which religion (or even: if any!) they themselves believe in a part of a religious community. Personal opinion.

The Japanese government just decided that forcing children to participate in any religious ceremony or practice is to be considered child abuse. I can't but help to agree.
