In other words an Atheistic house lacks religion. In contrast, a Christian's house has those things, and has religion.
Tell me how a child growing up in an Atheistic house wouldn't be "brainwashed" simply by their surroundings and their parents personalities by the lack of religion. The opposite is ascribed to me and my ilk like we're some kind of perverts for teaching our children our religion.
Do you have pictures, texts and other religious articles from all faiths?
For the record, there are three Bibles in my house. This does not include various translations or theological works that are on my Kindle. I have a prominently displayed plaque of the Serenity Prayer (if you ignore the invocation of God, I consider it a great piece of wisdom).
Parents have the ability to teach their children anything they wish. Although I won't call the individuals perverted, some pervert the child's education when learning is stifled by fealty to a particular dogma. The prime example is when creationist Christians (not all Christians are creationists) shelter their children from a proper education regarding evolution, geology, cosmology, etc. because it is at odds with the description of events provided in Genesis.
