What religion would a child choose if they had Muslim and Christian parents?

Im a muslim (nation of Islam type), and i was wondering because my boyfriend is christian, say if we had children (in the future), would they be Christan or muslim? i plan on raising both religions in my future household and would leave the choice up to my children on which one they would like to choose. but at the same time i know someone raised like that and their atheist! would it be a mistake to raise a family like that or should i just choose my first mind regardles?What religion would a child choose if they had Muslim and Christian parents?
I'm muslim too, if I was in your situation I would teach your kids all the different religions out there in the world so they have a broader understanding of what they can choose if they wish too.


However I think if anyone is practicing a particular religion, e.g. Christian or Muslim, wouldn't you want your child to be brought up in the religion YOU think is right for your child.





And for people that are saying they will become Athiests. I highly doubt it, if they have two religious parents ?!!What religion would a child choose if they had Muslim and Christian parents?
If you are a a NOI Muslim then you really aren't a true/real Muslim. So it doesn't matter what you choose to do. So based on that, if you have chosen a religion because you believe it to be the right path to salvation then would you not teach your kids to follow this path?





As for the real Orthodox Islam, it protects the Muslim woman and her right to practice her religion by allowing her to marry within the religion only.
First of all I wouldn't advise you to marry a Christian, but that's up to you. As for any possible children you might have in the future... Raise them in your own religion, and when they grow up and chose, or remain, on a religion then that's up to them.





I think it would be a mistake to raise children whose parents have two different religions.
Peace. Raising children in a household where the parents have differing views on religion is a difficult undertaking...I'm speaking from experience. As a Christian and father, I believe it is better for the family to be on one accord and to study the religion I feel is best as the head of my house. That being said, I believe both you and your children would be better if you all served the God of the Bible. On this matter the Bible teaches:





Joshua 24:15


(15) And if it is evil in your eyes to serve the LORD, choose this day whom you will serve, whether the gods your fathers served in the region beyond the River, or the gods of the Amorites in whose land you dwell. But as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD.';
You can have two children: one Christain and the other one Muslim. This is one of the problems of love marriage with the opposite religion. Other wise, all you can do is tell the kid about Islam and Christianity and he will choose. it's more likely that he won't become an atheist because of the similiraty between the two religion. The only difference between Islam and Christianity is that Muslim believe Muhammad SAW to be the last prophet while Christian think of Jesus as God and don't accept islam. They are extremely similar: the principals are same is what I am trying to say.
I don't think it is legal for a muslimah to married a Christian man unless the man turns to Islam...





For me, better you try to invite him to Islam, using your intellectuality of al-Quran and comparative religion...





btw,


if you insist,


I would like to suggest secular view, just married with him...


child tend to follow their mother, unless the father are very influential.





=)
it is not acceptable in islam for a muslim woman to marry christian man





this show that you dont know the basics of your religion





dear there is difference between being muslim and following islam





it is not an ID issue





i will not answer your question because it is wrong from the begining
The kid(s) would be really confused.





Because Islam and Christianity have different beliefs.


Here's an example: In Islam people are born good but have free will to commit bad or good deeds.


While in Christianity all people are born bad because all are sinful.





In Islam all can be saved if they believe in and worship Allah (G-d) but in Christianity the only way to be saved is to worship Jesus as G-d/Savior so that he can ask G-d to save you from hell.





See how confusing that is. Your best options are to raise them either as Muslims, Christians, Agnostics or Atheists.





And once they get older then they can search for themselves and find out the faith that's right for them. Until then you should raise them as one thing or the other but not both.
peace and blessings in the name of allah, i have a question. What was your religion in the womb of your mother? Religion has never brought forth life.Teach your child the Truth. Every man has a mother, And this earth is the Living God. She feeds, clothes, and shelters us all. Teach Self The True Knowledge of Self as The Creator Of Heaven upon Earth.
I believe that what ever religion you choose will be fine, or you can do both! But after the said child is grown the chose is up to said child!
The child would have common sense and become atheist.
They might choose Wicca or just become Atheists... you never know. that's the point of choice.
Christianity and Islam clash. They are far too different to ever come to a peaceful agreement. It would be better if you each found a person of your own faith to marry. Christianity teaches that God is love. He is our Heavenly Father. We can go to Him with all things. Jesus taught that the greatest commandments were to love God with all your heart, and to love your fellow man. These two were fulfillment of all the other commandments. Why? Because if one loved their fellow man, one would not steal from him, one would not commit adultery with his wife, etc. Jesus elevated the status of women. He showed them they too were valued and loved by our Father. Christianity teaches a man is to love his wife like he loves his own body. Not doing harm to her, but loving and cherishing her as he does his own body. Even to the point of laying down his life for her if necessary.





There is a vast gulf between what is taught in Islam and and what is taught in Christianity. One that cannot be crossed. One is violent and strives to be superior. One is gentle and teaches peace and love. It just would not work. Find someone who believes what you do. It will save you a lot of misery and heartache later on. I hope this helps. Peace!
