I tend to agree with you. God will find each person and draw them to him. Forced religion will do more damage to a child IMO.
I was married to a very 'religious' man who pushed me away from God for many years with the constant assaults and condemnations and expectations that I just could not live up to.
I live in this world warts and all.
"These commandments that I give you today are to be upon your hearts. Impress them on your children. Talk about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up." ~ Deuteronomy 6:6&7
"Train a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not depart from it." ~ Proverbs 22:6
"Fathers, do not exasperate your children; instead, bring them up in the training and instruction of the Lord." ~ Ephesians 6:4
As Christians we're SUPPOSED to talk about it and impress it upon our families. Faith is not for spectators. God will hold us all accountable if we know His commands but don't tell others about them.
"Be merciful to those who doubt; snatch others from the fire and save them; to others show mercy, mixed with fear–hating even the clothing stained by corrupted flesh." ~ Jude 22&23
