It's a joke or something?
If not then you are,in my opinion, twice wrong.
First, we as atheists have no reason whatsoever to take religion in derision.
We have our believe about the inexistence of God but that does not mean thart we should not respect the believes of others.If we try to convince others about the rightness of atheism we should use our rational arguments not fantasies.
Second ,as a parent I would try to speak to the children when it comes to cardinal problems such as the death of dear ones ,in full seriousness.
I'm not preaching to anybody ,everyone has his own conception of life ans acts as he pleases.
