Religion of a child - part I

Children are innocent, they do not have any authority to make decisions in their early ages. Decisions are been made for them by mostly their parents and teachers at school. A child spends a greater portion of his/her life either in school or at home, and probably at the hospital when sick.

When a child is born, he/she will most probably follow or subscribe to the religious ideals of his/her parents. Parents then become the guiding factor of a child's religious beliefs. If the child's parent is a Muslim, he/she will declare to friends that he/she is a Muslim. This is also the same for a child born by Christian, Jewish, Hindu parent (s).
