This shit should not be forced on children as truth.
That is your opinion of the truth and you can teach your children that. Since I think something else is true, I teach my children something else.
What else can you do, really? If all religionists would accept their children's adult beliefs as being their own, believers would be better off. If religious institutions would work harder to earn children's respect rather than just insist on it, that would also help.
