Most any Wiccan coven does not. Satanism does not, either, in
its most organized form.... The Shakers didn't.
Of course, generally, all of the established, state-linked religions do.

in several countries, the oppression of children, beyond the
oppression of their free-thought, has been not only officially
ignored, but, officially sanctioned.
