I don't think you're qualified to comment on Cin's entire parenting strategy on the basis of a single anecdote related over a year ago. In fact, I find it incredibly presumptuous and opportunistic that you would even attempt to do so; you don't have enough information to formulate a proper conclusion, if it were any other sort of parenting issue you wouldn't so brazenly shout your opinion as though it were some kind of fact, which makes this a transparently ideological attack, just like the others. It's about the fact that someone disagreed with you on something, not that you actually have a basis from which to comment.
Edit: The other thing is this: religious parents rarely offer up the ideas of other religious in a context in which they would be considered equal alternatives to christianity. No, with christian parents it's more often than not a presentation that christianity is the truth, and you're going to hell if you believe otherwise, without any education into other religions at all. They send their kids to bible camps, churches and so on, get them while they're young... we all know the strategies. The only time we ever hear this idea that religions should be taught equally, and to quash another belief is a bad thing, is when we're discussing parents of a religious position that the interlocutor doesn't already agree with. For some reason, it's only atheists that are expected to be completely neutral on the subject of religion and allow whatever ideas that float by to attach to their children. Christian parent? Look at you, being a good christian and bringing your children into the fold! Take them to church, make them pray at meal times, it's all good! Atheist parent? How dare you relate your beliefs to your child! You're just indoctrinating them and keeping out other ideas!
Yet another example of the extreme hypocrisy through which christianity operates.
