Coercive persuasion (aka mind control or brainwashing,) is secular conduct. Insofar as it is recognized as coercion and "undue influence," it is illegal conduct. Prohibition of this specific conduct will protect the State itself and the free exercise rights of all citizens without infringing on the free exercise rights of religious organizations.
Coercive persuasion is antithetical to the First Amendment. It achieves much of the harmful result of fraud, false imprisonment, coercion, undue influence, involuntary, servitude, intentional infliction of emotional distress, outrageous conduct, and other tortuous acts.
The physical universe is an origin of religion and the place where the founder of every religion experienced the awe of existence and interpreted the nature of existence conditioned by both what they experienced in universe life conditions and the knowledge of their time.
