Let's look at the full quote in context

 "It is evil to describe a child as a Muslim child or a Christian child. I
think labelling children is child abuse and I think there is a very heavy
issue, for example, about teaching about hell and torturing their minds with
hell.

"It's a form of child abuse, even worse than physical child abuse. I
wouldn't want to teach a young child, a terrifyingly young child, about hell
when he dies, as it's as bad as many forms of physical abuse."
Hmmm
