No, I think it's wrong to to say to any child that Christianity (or any other religion) is true, which is what someone mean's they will say to their child when they state that they will bring their children up as Christian.

"Jesus and God are true, and so is Santa. Oh wait, Santa's not real, but Jesus and God still are!". For a child, God and Santa are on the same level. They can't reason out evidence for themselves, they simply believe a) what they are told or b) what feels right. Neither of which is good evidence for God or Santa.

No, I will not raise my children with religion, and I won't allow my partner (should s/he be religious) raise them with religion either.
