Certainly, a young adult should be allowed to accept/decline his parent’s religion. He will at some point anyway. I think the actual answer to your question is more appropriate in the context of what is allowed and what not by the parent in general.

Some parents make it a must to attend family functions. Others (my nephew, who is in high school, for example, refuses to attend most family get-togethers - not unusual, I would guess.) make it optional. The same criteria should be used for Church functions. It depends on how one is raising their children is how I see it. (And I am not suggesting one is better than the other.)

I caught Oprah today (hey, I am secure in myself to be able to say that) and Michael Jordan was on with Charles Barkley. Barkley’s daughter is tall and has athletic abilities; but has no interest in basketball, he mentioned. He accepts it. He doesn’t seem to pleased with it, but what are you gonna do?
