Yes, Christianity, if you consider Christianity to be a religion (which I don't), i.e. not a relationship with a person, just a follower of an ideology or philosophy. My two sons grew up in a Christian home and were free to choose their own path. They had ample opportunity to turn away (away at university, leaving home to get married etc.) but they have not. We never coerced them - what teenagers would accept that! There is an expression "to love people into the kingdom" - do you seriously think that anyone today could be bullied into becoming a Christian?

My sisters kid was brought up by my sister and her husband who are both devout , god fearing Catholics

Is it any surprise she has turned out the same ?

The difference is she is very bright and studying anthropology and evolution at king's college London and surely she will over the course of her studies realise that the earth is billions of years old and that , in my opinion , creationism is nonsense

At least l hope she does

Maybe. On the other hand she may discover that the age of the earth has no relevance whatsoever to matters of the human condition and the chaos in the world.
