Or could it be that in America it would be classified as involuntary manslaughter?
Several specific crimes are enumerated under felony murder. The killing of a child through intentional torture, whether your intent was to kill him or not, could be one of those things.
I would argue that killing a child through preventing that child from receiving basic medical care because of your religious beliefs should at least be second degree murder.
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great
