That's their right to practice their religion. I find keeping your kid home for schooling, solely to teach them religion, distasteful, but acknowledge the parents' right to do so. I do feel bad for those kids though.
But,if religion is detasteful when does it become harmful? Just like slavery and child labor was a "parent's right"...when does society deems religion harmful too?

Someone already said it, I'll say it again. Religion becomes harmful when it violates the freedom and rights of others.

Sending your kid to a private Christian school is a personal choice that does not infringe upon others. You are responsibe for raising your own child in the way you see best fit.

I have no problem with that. In fact, these people that feel that prayer and the Bible should be in school should send their children to private school to get it. Because public school is a much larger and diverse arena. Religion has no place there.
