Offering free programs for kids with fun activities and extremely clear forewarning about religious content is now predatory, because, reasons.

Love to predatorily provide extremely valuable services completely for free for the purpose of telling children they are loved, valued, and cared for!
* by the almighty God and creator of the universe who knows them perfectly and cherishes them as his own child, and from whom no power on earth can separate them, so they need not fear anything
My favorite way to be predatory is to try to notice kids who need extra help and, like a predator, provide them extra help in a quiet and unassuming way so that for once they can feel “normal” because VBS has no grading scale unlike schools where they feel like failures.
One cool way to be a predatory VBS is to also on the side run a backpack food program, that way you can extremely predatorially let poorer parents drop off their kids then pick up food for the weekend in a dignified environment where they feel cared for in body and soul.
For some non-sarcastic thoughts on abusive church practices you can see here:
TL;DR-- for all the noise made, kids who grow up religious have similar or lower rates of abuse experience than other kids.

Whether that's proof of rhetorical overreach, or a stinging indictment of churches, is in the eye of the beholder.
not sure if this is serious or ironic, but some people do believe this seriously, and my response would be that it's absurd to think that childcare is *primarily* a state responsibility!

The state may provide varying degrees of assistance but it's bonkers to think that childcare as a close is basically like national defense or roads.
I agree, atheists could get together and do this too if they wanted to!
Weird how they don't!
It's almost lake shared beliefs of a religious nature sometimes motivate specific kinds of prosocial action!

But look, if the local atheist book club wants to run a Vacation Darwinism School, *knock yourself out*.
