I think a lot of the time parents treat their children as objects rather than individuals and force a lot of their own beliefs on their kids. I'm not saying little kids should be making tons of adult decisions or stupid crap like that, but most children are indoctrinated into whatever religion their parents decide for them from early on. A lot of the times kids will just try things for themselves and decide if they like it or not.
I was forced to go to church a lot when I was younger, but I never enjoyed it and in the end I didn't have to keep going because I made it pretty clear church wasn't for me. I guess it's all about what you absolutely think your kids have to do and how casual you want to be about this issue. I'm an atheist and I never want to have children, but if I ever did decide to pop out some little bastards, I wouldn't stop them from going to church if they felt like it or any other religion as long as it wasn't harmful. Parents have to realize at some point their children are going to make their own decisions someday and that they can't perfectly sculpt them into whatever they wish.
Jam it back in, in the dark.
