This is a complex legal question that has found split decisions in courts. A minor has rights, but they are limited because of the nature of the person (being a minor), in some cases federal courts have ruled that a family cannot impose a religion on a minor; more so when the religion falls into the grey area of cults. While in other cases the courts have ruled that a minor can be forced to attend church; they see it as the minor can refuse to listen, pray, or otherwise participate in the functions.

Each of these are taken on a case by case basis; considering the religion involved, the age of the child, upbringing, and a host of other factors.
