Regardless of religion, is bringing up children into a religion without giving them a choice child abuse?

I arranged for my daughter to be exposed to the principles of religion in order for her to learn morals. The practice of that religion however, was, and still is, her choice.
BTW, I consider myself to be agnostic.

@Giana you're agnostic but you brought your daughter up into religion? That's interesting.

@Shaun Some religious training is actually traditional...it can be a part of one's culture. My daughter, like many children, could think for herself and didn't consider this an indoctrination.
