Guess I just don't really get Dawkin's point, children can be affected in greatly different ways by a variety of different actions (i.e. abuse, teaching of religion, teaching of evolution) - this does not in itself make the action wrong or right in my opinion. I think even if the child enjoyed the molestation it does not make it any less wrong. Maybe that is where Dawkins and I actually differ. Thoughts?

Well yes, I'd say in general that something is 'wrong' if it causes people harm. But I hesitate to make sweeping statements, because each situation must be seen in context. If the child enjoyed being molested? I don't really see that happening, but if it did, I suppose that would be in the same wrongness category as statutory rape, or corrupting a minor, or something along those lines.

It doesn't depend on the specific religion being taught, it depends on HOW the religion is being taught to children.
