I feel for you. And I agree, I despise religious indoctrination and evasion of the facts in defense of their myths. Teach children the scientific evidence we've been accumulating for centuries, and the best explanations based on this evidence. Religion should be taught as a humanities course, when the child is old enough to grasp cultural and sociological concepts.
If God is everywhere, if he's all powerful, he doesn't need society or parents or priests or Sunday school teachers drilling the idea of him into children's heads. He can just enter their minds and reveal himself privately to them, without any help.
If children have a solid science education, are taught about many different religions, and have managed to avoid indoctrination, I'll bet most will decide against religion. If they still decide to be religious, then at least they've been given all the information, and are being allowed to decide for themselves. But by no means should religious doctrine and supernatural ideas be taught as 'fact' or 'the Truth' to anyone, least of all to young impressionable children.
