There's an element of luck in being an atheist, we shouldn't feel too proud of ourselves for not falling for theistic belief ourselves, any more than we should crow too much about any other advantage we happen to have.
No one is really to blame here, (almost) everyone is doing what they think is right when it comes to teaching their children. It's cultural heritage and human nature.
I completely disagree.
Delusion is a form of psychosis, believing in that which is not real.
It is not human to believe in something so unnatural that it projects imagination into reality to the point where that imagination is accepted as reality.
Yes, when it comes to religion, there is someone to blame. It is those who continue to believe in the delusion and continue to perpetuate it.
