If he's Muslim and I'm christian which religion does the baby follow?

We are having a baby. If he is Muslim and i'm a christian which religion does the baby follow. the mother or fathers? I assume the father but i'm very stern and want all my children to follow mines.
He has a daughter as well as myself. Now her mother is an Atheist. I told him that is between her and him but my daughter and this baby will most likely follow my religion. please help thanks. :) I want to compromise this situation before it gets ugly lol

Lol to the 17 year old. we did..when we were in LUST lol. Now we are an old fart coupleSome questions are the same...but ppl change in time :) We love each other. I like the idea of letting the child choose :) One day when you get a lil older and meet mr right ask him questions in the beginning and ask him again when you are an old fart couple! :) (we're not old lol.) Thanks though it was helpful.

1. Why did you capitalize muslim and not Christian when you say you are Christian? Islam was "created" more than 700 years after Christ died.

2. If you are truly a Christian than why are you with a someone who is unequally yoked and has children with someone else?

3. Religion is not the key here. Faith is. Religion is a creation of man. Read Romans.

4. With all due respect, why would you put yourself in that type of a situation? If the two of you have children to other people how can you see this as being alright? I mean seriously, There is no way in the world that I would take care of another man's kid. Let alone all the baggage you bring into a relationship with that situation. I feel for you.

That's a decision that the two of you have to make together. Are you living togehter? If not the child generally follows the tradition of the parent they live with.

Personally I'd give them some traditions of both. Find the things that both religions agree on - one God, killing is bad, etc. Celebrate some holidays from both. When your child is older let them decide which religion they believe in.

The child of a Muslim father always follows the father's religion, according to the laws of Islam.

To make it clearer:
According to the laws of Islam the child will be considered to have been BORN a Muslim, there is no choice about it.

DO you believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God and that He is the ONLY way to the Father? You must ask yourself how strongly you believe this because there is no middle ground on this point. It's essential that any child raised Christian understand this. Good luck with your decision.
