Aha....8 years old? Isn't she too young to make a decision to be a christian anyway? If I remember back to my bible-thumping days, a young person was could only be saved if they truly understood the concept and took classes to the effect. Usually, they could only make the decision in their late preteens...not at 8 years old.

I would say the same thing if the father had dubbed her an atheist. At that age, she may not even have a clear picture of what being a christian or being an atheist means.
