Everybody, regardless of age, have rights. Human rights.
Two of these rights are:
- The right of choice
- The right of belief
The right of choice grants you the right to make life choices for yourself. The only exceptions are where law forbids you from doing so. For example the legal age to have sex, drink and smoke.
Laws will only forbid worship of a certain religion if the religion is deemed unsafe or criminal (ie- if the religion encourages suicide or sacrifice).
The right of belief grants you the right to choose what you believe in. This includes politics and religion.
It is against the law to force someone to believe in something they either refuse to believe in or don't want to believe in.

Some parents believe that their child should be introduced to religion at an early age in order to begin and maintain a strong faith in that religion.

I personally would not introduce my future children to religion at such an early age.
