Individuals should be allowed to practice their religion freely and without government interference except in the case where such practices cause harm and even death to themselves and others.

Child negligence that results in death from curable diseases should be considered murder and should be punishable by life sentence. Faith healing kills children. It should be considered a serious crime, as it is one. Ban faith healing--save children who are abused by religious nuts/.

The fact that this is allowed here in America is disgusting. We have evidence that faith healing doesn't work and these people are choosing to kill their children.
