Or else what?

This doesn't become any less absurd, no matter how many times you repeat it. Telling children how to live is an essential part of a parent's role in their life. Telling children that there is a God and bringing them up in a life of faith is a normal, healthy expression of family. The only people who think this should not happen are - surprise, surprise - people who are atheist or agnostic in outlook, and what they always end up arguing for is - surprise, surprise - for other families to change their ways to be more like them.

No matter how you dress it up and how hard you try to sound reasonable, your argument is utterly self-serving and at the same time quite lacking in self awareness. How you bring up your kids is your business. How a Christian, Muslim or Buddhist brings up his kids is his business. It is not the State's and it is not his neighbour's.
