Absolutely NOT.
That's a direct constitutional violation, where one set of spiritual beliefs is declared more valid than another.
Any judge who did that (and there have been some that have) should be disbarred, IMO.

Religion is not a factor that should be examined in parental fitness. Being a christian does not guarantee moral or ethical behavior any more than being an atheist reflects immorality.
The parent who shows the best emotional stability and can provide the most stable environment should be the custodial parent, regardless of their religious predisposition.

Ima Christian but I think whichever parent is best suited to care for the child should have main custody.
I don't think religion should be looked at.

Being a Christian doesn't make you a good parent. I believe it can help, but it is by no means a guarantee.
A parent who is militant in shoving their beliefs down a kids throat should not get the kids. But athiests can be just as militant as Christians.
Custody should be determined on a case by case basis.

The judge should side with who ever is best qualified and able to raise the child.

No. If the Christian parent didn't want their kid raised by an Atheist, they shouldn't have had a kid with an Atheist.

They should go back to the wisdom of Solomon in the Bible (Kings 3:25) and cut the child in half so that each can care for their half in their own way.
