I believe you should keep your religion to yourself for the most part and this is especially true when concerning children. It's not right to attempt to indoctrinate a child into thinking the way you do, as a parent, just because you believe your religion is "the right one." Had I not grown up to be the moderately intelligent, self aware individual that I am, I may very well have turned out a Christian.
“Love is the only bow on Life’s dark cloud. It is the morning and the evening star. It shines upon the babe, and sheds its radiance on the quiet tomb. It is the mother of art, inspirer of poet, patriot and philosopher.
It is the air and light of every heart – builder of every home, kindler of every fire on every hearth. It was the first to dream of immortality. It fills the world with melody – for music is the voice of love.
Love is the magician, the enchanter, that changes worthless things to Joy, and makes royal kings and queens of common clay. It is the perfume of that wondrous flower, the heart, and without that sacred passion, that divine swoon, we are less than beasts; but with it, earth is heaven, and we are gods.” - Robert. G. Ingersoll
