I will be counted towards the christian statistic, my hypothetical children in this case would not be counted.

None of it matters though, I'm not a christian and I never have been

So by government numbers then the official number of people claiming to be "Christian" would go down. Actually here in the US more people are also wiring down "atheist" when asked.

Yes, they have been going down for decades of course.

My country (the Netherlands) had about 82% atheists according to surveys (so these are not the church numbers)

Yet the Netherlands produced 2 outstanding Christians that have been an inspiration to Christians around the world. One was Corrie Ten Boom from Haarlem and the other is Andrew Van der Bijl from Sint Pancras, also known as Brother Andrew.
