Many Christians believe that a religious upbringing is important. Raising your children to have a belief in God is a teaching found within the Bible, in verses such as 22:6, which states that believers should, 'Start children off on the way they should go, and even when they are older they will not turn from it'.
Because Christians believe that the Bible is the of God, so they consider this to be guidance from God on how to raise children. It also makes sense that people of faith would raise their children in the same faith that they do – this is true across all .
There are various ways in which Christians may demonstrate their faith to their children. They may buy them children's which enable children to learn important stories about people of faith. Children may also go with their parents to church, and take part in . This is where they will learn Bible stories as well as be taught important ideas from the Christian faith.

Non-religious people may object to this approach as they may argue that by raising a child in a specific belief, their parents are taking away that child's right to their own faith. They may view it as the parents forcing their beliefs on the child.
