Showing children how to think properly helps them develop and come to their own conclusions in life.
Telling them what to think uncritically is abusing their dependence on you to program them.
(Some things must be presented "as fact" for their own good such as dangers around the home, but the very sound and demonstrable evidence can be presented later. No child needs to "know" about Jesus, Satan and Hell before the age of 7 to be able to function safely. If God is already chalking up black marks before that age, the cult is even worse than I thought.)
Showing children how to use their empathy helps them to develop their own morality.
Telling them how to act based on dogma gives them no understanding or room for growth.
