Me too...it starts and ends there for me.
When my daughter was in grade 2 or 3 a group of kids teased her because they asked what church she went to and she said she didn't go to church. They circled her, pointed at her, said she was going to hell, etc. She came home devastated.
I told her to go to them the next day and tell them their God would be very disappointed in them. That they were acting out of hate not love. That shaming her wasn't being a good church-goer. And, finally, that her church was in her heart...that we don't need to enter a building to be good.
It worked, they didn't bother her again.
