Everyone who truely becomes born-again does it out of fear of burning forever in the lake of fire.

I don't think it's fear so much as simply growing up in a community who supports the Christian beliefs. Just as a child who grows up in an abusive household believes that is how everyone lives, so does a child in a Christian, atheist, Buddhist, whatever household.
While Jesus Camp is a horrible mark on the Christian record, I realize that it is a minority subsect of Christians who operate that way.

There are no real exorcisms performed on children. Now the exorcist team issued under the official order of Vatican consist of 3 people. A Psychiatrist, a psychologist and a priest. They say now that more than 90% of the cases are mental disorders or happen do to fear. On less than 10% requires real exorcisms.

A person/child can be forced to go to church but they cannot be forced to be a Christian, it may seem that they are going through the motions, saying all the right things but that doesn't make them a Christian. I know I did it myself.
(shortened story of my life)
When I was old enough to say no I stopped going to church, hated it...
Through secondary school was an atheist, agnostic, nothing at all and so on...
Then later in life I came to the realisation that I needed God and chose to follow Him, I chose God, we have to choose God of our own free will.
Becoming a Christian is a choice by each individual to follow Jesus.

Christianity is accepted by free will. Anyone with that sort of misplaced zeal will not help a child to become a christian. If you really want to know what is what then why don't you just ask God to reveal it to you, in Jesus name?

Significantly lower than the percentage of children in the US and UK forced into atheism by fear and threats!

It would be a very high percentage of those that attend church I would estimate. If they don't believe they be set free and lead a normal tolerant life free from judgement of others.
Jesus may love you, but he is not in love with you!

O% for TRUE Christianity....
as for the pseudo-christian organizations, I do not know the percentage.
Jesus Christ forces none to believe in Him.
each person is given a choice and must take responcibility for their decision......
that includes you, also!

I was just going to say I don't know exact numbers, but I know it happens. Fear and guilt.

You can't force anyone into Christianity. It's a choice.
Either you accept the gift of salvation or you don't. It's that simple.
