The more I think about this the more I think how if it is true, it must come down to love. Many born-in atheists dont care about compromising with a cute girl or guy when it comes to some light form of religion. They will go to mass or sunday services every so often, and let their kids do whatever, because many of the born-ins atheists didnt suffer like their parenets or grand parents who left religion.

You have to make a belief your own. Personally I think you have to inoculate your children from belief. If you just say we dont believe they will rebel and try to believe. Too many athiests never tell their child anything.
That being said anicdotally I only know of one person who was raised as an atheist who converted, the rest remained the same....He converted for a girl.

Miles you might be right, or we might both be wrong. That being said it didnt answer anything to do with the question the OP presented.
