At what point do you expose the child to other religions, and, does it make sense to? Should a 10 year old be given a full explanation of the 3 major religions, and then a quick overview of the 15 bajillion other religions so that from there he/she can make an informed decision? Or is the parents right to choose to bring their child up in faith of their choice, the one that has worked best for them and which they would like to extend to their offspring.

I have no problem with children/teenagers being exposed to other world religions, because I hope to feel, as a parent, that I will have done my job in convincing him/her that my religion (Islam in my case) is the way to go. If I've done my part, then he/she won't be particularly interested in turrning Christian or Buddhist or christian scientist.

I guess I'm having trouble understanding the alternative to raising a child in one's own faith. Give them all the options right off the bat?
