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 don't think a 10-year-old needs a full explanation of other people's religions; it's not so much about detailing the other religions themselves, but about respecting the humanity of adherents of other religions. I think a 10-year-old can, and should, know that different people have very different beliefs about religion, and that it's not right to hate or disrespect people whose beliefs differ from one's own, except maybe where those beliefs lead to genuine human suffering.
