True christianity is not forced, it is taught, it is up to each individual to choose to believe or reject. I will agree that to teach a child from an early age a person or couple will have a greater influence on any decision but isn't that one reason people have children is to pass on their beliefs. Personally I haven't seen many parents that do not care what their children believe (that is those parents who care about their child), that includes secular and religious. Different people have different beliefs and that means different moral standards and the courts nor any other government agency has the right to dictate those beliefs unless those beliefs are a detriment to a childs physical health. I believe that murder, stealing, cheating, lying and ect. are moral issues and not just legal matters, I also believe that homosexuality is a moral issue and not necessarily a legal matter and I would have taught my children the same, I however would not have taught them to hate homosexual people that would be bigoted. To teach a child your moral principles is not bigotry, to teach a child your moral principles colored with hate is bigoted and as far as I'm concerned immoral.
God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.
