Saying it's abuse is pushing it. At the end of the day, parents get to decide what they want to teach their chidlren, and even atheist parents are prone to teaching nonsense to their kids.
I do think there is something not right about imparting "knowledge" confidently about stuff one is not really confident of as that might dangerously mislead children. I'd rather a parent make it clear to their child what they believe is true (when it comes to God and religion) as opposed to asserting stuff as facts and truths without warrant. More sincere this way.
Now if a parent does preach to their child about hell and all that, then yeah, chances are some form of abuse is happening.
