Yes, as a matter of fact, I am. My son is being raised attending her Methodist church by his Christian mother, but is under no pressure to join or be baptized, just yet. Also, both of us teach him science and how it works, as well as telling him to be skeptical of what he is told by anyone, to find out the facts, and how to do so. We want him to be a healthy thinker, and his religion be his own choice, freely made when he is old enough to truly understand to what it is he is pledging allegiance (or not). I am careful never to tell my son I don't think there's a God, even when we talk about religious things, because I don't honestly think he's ready to handle those kinds of thoughts, yet, without being influenced one way or the other.
I think you will find that very few atheists tell their children they should/must be atheists.
