When I feel my children are old enough to reason, I would expose them to other religions, as I read about other religious beliefs myself in my spare time. I would also expose them to language, as I am studying a third language and would be happy for them to know more than one. We would examine the base doctrines together and then the children would have to make a decision, whenever they're ready, all I can ask is for my children to give the Bible a chance.
Will you also expose them to the idea that "God" is most likely a fictitious being? Because if you don't, you're not exposing your kids to all the possibilities. This would be like exposing your kids to communism, fascism, totalitarianism and hereditary monarchy, then asking them to pick which one they'd rather live under. Meanwhile, you've never exposed them to democracy.
Science flies us to the moon and stars. Religion flies us into buildings.
God allowed 200,000 people to die in an earthquake. So what makes you think he cares about YOUR problems?
