For all of my hopefully, "open-mindedness", if my beloved son came home a fundie I would be hard pressed not to discourage him and try to change his mind. I know I should always allow my child to think for himself. I do know that, but it would be hard for me.
I can see how some people who are devoutly religious might feel that way if their child came home and said they were an atheist.
It must be equally hard for all of us to just let our children believe in what makes sense to them if it is the polar opposite of what we believe.
How different we all are. My son claims to be an atheist at this time, he is 14, and I am totally fine with that, even though I think there may be a God. But if he got "saved", I would freak out.
