regarding the bold -- obviously, this is the case.

I think if any thinks that it's a good thing to let the government decide whether one's religious beliefs are suitable for parenting because this might prevent some bad things from happening hasn't thought adequately about what bad things might happen if the government gets to decide whether one's religious beliefs are suitable for parenting.
