Respectfully, I suspect these Christian fundamentalists you hang around are being hyperbolic. Or perhaps your friends are doing extreme things to their children that could be considered abuse. Perhaps you could change my mind by providing examples from reputable sources of children being taken from parents simply because of their religion.
I suspect this is less about Christians and more the generic hyperbole of the political right, who fear progress. They don't like that they get to impose their worldview (which is predominantly Christian) on others anymore and perceive their loss of privilege as an "attack" rather than a leveling of the playing field. So they come up with fictitious horror stories to illicit sympathy and give the impression they're hard done by. "They don't allow god in schools" "they're taking our guns" "they're taking our children" is all the same bullshit cut from the same shitty cloth.
