Welcome to the forums madscientist. I have two daughters ages 14 and 11 years old and they both have been to church with their mom and I dont really approve of it either.But because of their ages and since I am no longer with their mom I dont really have no say or no way of preventing them from going to church.I did tell them that they are too young to make the adult decisions about religion and to concentrate now on school and what is important to them.
My girls are fully aware that I am an atheist and when they ask for my opinion about something religious they get an atheist response.I am lucky because the mom is not fanatical and only goes to church occasionally when her brother comes by and invites her.Because of her more secular life style my girls are showing signs of leaning toward atheism but in the end I leave that up to them.I dont know the ages of your children but if they are at an age where they can understand the basics just be open with them on religious matters and let them make the choice on where they stand on their own.

There is nothing people will not maintain when they are slaves to superstition
