When anti-religionists hear that I (or any other parent doing similar) am bringing my daughter up in Christianity they automatically assume it'll be a strict anti-evolution, anti-science and anti-anything-non-christian upbringing.

Where they get that idea from I have no idea.

This is a Christian country. I belong to that faith. It makes sense that I want what I think is the best for her, therefore she'll have a Christian upbringing. Is she free to learn about other faiths? Of course, I don't want her growing up ignorant of other peoples' beliefs. Will I force her to go to church? No, why would I?

If she choses a different faith (or even atheism) then naturally I'll be disappointed but I'm not going to use force. I don't believe in parents making the decision of faith for you (*cough* Catholicism *cough*). If her heart isn't in it and doesn't make the choice herself (when she is old enough to) then in my eyes she isn't a Christian. If that happens then like I said I'll be disappointed but my hope that she does chose Christ will always be there.

And I think you'll find the majority of Christian families have a similar outlook. It's just the controversial ones that end up on Channel 4 documentaries.
