You raise your kids so that they see both sides of your beliefs, if possible even other world religions so they can make the choice themselves when they are of fit age to do so.
It's like you're saying a child should know what profession they want to be when they're 1 year old. Of course that wont happen.
Nothing should be forced upon children, they should be given all the information possible and then able to decide for themselves.
Clearly not everyone needs to have a religion from the word go.

Parents have the right to choose their child's religion for them, and it says so in the Family Law Act 1975 (Commonwealth). Children are able to follow or not follow religion and convert ONLY when they are able to understand.

Catholic church says that this age is 7, others think that children should not be able to change until they are in their teens or are 18 (ie: legally an adult). Then there are the ones who believe that their choice is right and that their children should respect this choice.
