Would you freely accept their choice to not have a faith, or if they did have faith, to then abandon it without question?
This little phrase highlighted shows how little you understand what faith is .No one of any faith chooses a faith to follow based on what "suits them" ,it is not a fashion statement .

"or without allowing them to stay neutral until a time comes in their life where they are mature enough to make their own choice?"

Again ,as has been pointed out already this is not how things work ,A religious family will always bring up children in that religions ways ,loving and caring parents will always allow their children a choice as to whether or not to continue following a religion as they grow older
