That is highly subjective. No parent, regardless of religion likes others telling them how to raise their kids. It would depend on what they are selling the kid. I do think if you are selling a child bigoted superior crap and basing that on religion, that can have a negative effect on the child setting them up not to have good social skills.
But is is impossible to prevent parents in the civil west from them selling their kids the religions of their parents. Even liberal theists sell their children their religions. So this would be a "depends" not an absolute.
If parents were to tell their kids they will be thrown onto a fire for not believing in the flying spaghetti monster, that would be child abuse. Social services via the courts will move the kids to a safe house. No sane person could object this.
If parents were to tell their kids they will be thrown onto a fire for not believing in jeebus, they will considered good Christian parents.
It's amazing 'science' always seems to 'find' whatever it is funded for, and never the oppsite. Drich.
