Glad to see everyone else has reached a consensus.
Meanwhile, I'm going to continue to believe that when you have a religion drilled into your brain from the age of 0 and "choosing" to leave that religion would entail disassociating yourself from your family and everyone you've ever known, then continuing that path at age 17 is not a completely "voluntary" choice.
And in my mind, 17-21 year olds shouldn't have their lives thrown upside down because they choose not to follow a set of questionable religious precepts that have been imposed on them since birth. I think such penalties are draconian, "voluntary" choices involved or not.
But hey, people are entitled to different opinions right? That's why pluralism is so great!
