Childhood in Religions: Childhood Analysis in Christianity and Islam

child in Christianity is defined by the belief in the first sin, which is inherently evil. Because the rebel has a divine command and a tendency to evil. Following this, the first sin in the child's nature must be washed away by baptism. Such a pessimistic view of children was introduced with the myth of Dionysus. The child of Dionysus deserves immorality, misbehavior, abortion, severe punishment, forced labor, lack of support, hunger, poverty, disease, illiteracy and ignorance, and so on. Christianity's view of childhood due to the humanist actions of the Renaissance and beyond, including the developments of the Church and the actions of the modern world in the twentieth century, Led to the transformation of the Christian approach to childhood and the weakening of the evil and Dionysian child approach. The religion of Islam considers the child to be inherently good and divine, the child is Apollonian, because the child has the Spirit of God in him and is infallible and holy. But following the power of free will may be tainted with sin and carnal contamination.
