Agreed with the first two posts. If you teach your child about religion & they are not capable of understand said religion then it's brainwashing nothing less.
We never discussed religion. They are not affiliated to any belief system. What I do know is they would never align themselves with an organization treating women different than men.
The bible has been treated as just another book in our library. It was not the book they read over over again, and we certainly did not expect them to memorize any book they read. Honestly the bible is a dry read.

Some Christian denominations do ordain women, if I'm not mistaken. (Sorry for the off-topic post.)
I will refuse to -- when the child is old enough (probably around 8-10), I would introduce them to religions of the world and let them choose which path they want to take, if they want to, and I will be in full support of that decision.
That's one of my largest gripes with religion. People believe because their parents believed, and their grandparents believed. You're only Christian/Muslim/Jewish because your family was.

There are, and I am pleased. It has been a very slow evolution.
I was invited to a business seminar lunch event in a small NC town. The first question? What church do you belong to? They were serious, so I stopped myself from saying, Heathens INC.
To many, indoctrinating children into any religion when they are below the age of reason, is a moral turpitude.
Others however, believe it is a requirement to teach their children the same religion that the parents believe in.
Discuss.
Wouldn't the answer to this be predictable? Those who have faith in their particular religion will likely teach it to their kids, based on and justified by the nature of their faith. Those who do not share that kind of faith in the religion will think doing so is wrong, that it is brainwashing/indoctrinating the child before true reasoning can be applied, etc.

I'm surprised cupper...for a guy that takes such exception to the Bible saying things that contradict reality...that you would put forth something like this.
SO...let me help you out by modifying what you wrote so it comports with the way the world really is and has been:
To an infinitesimally small percentage of people, indoctrinating children into any religion when they are below the age of reason, is a moral turpitude.
Most that now live and have ever lived throughout human history however, believe it is proper and preferred to teach their children the same theological and/or spiritual concepts that the parents believe in.

THERE...now it represents REALITY.
Look...I'm sorry that the concept you embrace never has, doesn't, and probably never will have any influence or "mojo" what-so-ever...but you are either gonna have to learn to face that REALITY, or live a life that is all emotionally tweaked out and full of angst over it.
I know how much you guys like "facts"...and religious belief and embrace is gaining on a global level, and once adopted it is typical for one generation to teach it to the next. That IS the FACTS of the issue. You are just gonna hafta try to cope as best you can...cuz you sure aren't gonna do anything to change it.
