I don't think a religion is justified by the fact that members can have children.

That would apply to Christianity too, correct?

Yes, I don't think your justification for religion applies well at all. Just because a child is born into a family of some type of belief, this does not mean that God approves of that particular belief.

The statement you made earlier that since God allows a baby to be born into a family of some type of religion proves He must not have a problem with that religion is what I was objecting to. I think your claim is wrong, I don't think a baby being born into a family of some religion proves the truthfulness or validity of that religion.

That was sort of the point I was trying to make to the original poster, albeit in a roundabout way. Only God (according to the standard definition) has control over the religion we are born into, so that doesn't make Christianity any more acceptable to him than Hinduism.
