Children's Rights?

I know I'm not a child anymore, but I am also not the youngest in my family.

Article 14 (Freedom of thought, conscience and religion): Children have the right to think and believe what they want and to practise their religion, as long as they are not stopping other people from enjoying their rights. (http://www.unicef.org/crc/files/Rights_overview.pdf)

According to this article, wouldn't it mean that telling a child they have to attend church, religious gatherings, or anything relating the religious practices is illegal? I want to know some opinions on the extent to which a parent can make a child do and think what they want. When does it stop another person from enjoying their rights?
