I'm never having children (for an abundance of reasons) but if I did, I'd do what just about everyone else has already said Teach them how to think.
Unlike religion, atheism does not need implanting in a young defenceless mind. No child is going to suddenly come to the conclusion that the christian God is real, unless that is heavily suggested. They may decide that they feel there is some sort of "god". I have no problem with that idea anyhow, I find it rather pointless, but harmless. Just a sort of placeholder for a lack of knowledge. It's connecting the dots between that vague notion and specific ridiculous dogmatic teachings which is child abuse.
So yeah, they are born atheist, or certainly not theists. And I'd be confident they'd remain that way with no pressure from me.
But sorry, no kids, I hate the FUCKERS. Noisy little shits.
