I'm going to have to disagree with you on the fact that children's choices are made for them just based upon what they are exposed to. I won't disagree that there is an influence but the choice a child makes will ultimately be the childs choice not the parents.

atheism is not religion. It has no boundaries and can mean different things to different people.
My kids have the absolute right to make any choice they want as long as it doesn't hurt others. They have gone to various churches and I have accompanied them, if they wanted. They have asked questions about each one and we have found the answers to those questions together, honestly and openly.
This is an absolute 180 from most Christian families. Id assume the same for all other religions as well.
