Robbie Pierce , his husband, Neal Broverman and their two young children were traveling on an Amtrak train in California in 2022 when they were harassed by a fellow passenger at a stop in San Jose .

Seven months later , Pierce ’s son was the victim of harassment, this time from a child at a park who called gay people 'the devil' Pierce responded to the child's comments with his own response.

A recent study in the growing field of religious trauma found that 1 in 3 Americans suffer from trauma related to religion at some point in their life.

The unfortunate problem is that hyper-religious upbringing can cause lasting emotional and psychological trauma to a child.

The more we learn about religious trauma, the more these children appear to be the victims of abuse.
