"Child abuse"? Yeah, no. Most religious upbringing is no more abusive than is raising one's child to be atheist. Using abuse to describe a religious upbringing is stretching the term beyond its meaning.
Of course some religious parents abuse their children in programming the kids to share the parental beliefs. Some. But labeling it abuse, broadly, is not supportable.
