Criminal Minds and religion

A 2010 episode of "Criminal Minds" has a man choked to death in  a Catholic Church by an unknown person. One mother tried to force and manipulate her daughter to 'talk to Jesus' and she didn't want to. I think it's wrong of her mother to force her to 'talk to Jesus'. Making a child take part in a religious practice that they don't want to is wrong.  The little girl should have been allowed to choose for herself.  She should be allowed to choose for herself whether or not she wants to engage in this practice or whether or not she wants to be religious.
