There are plenty of secular religions, and it's a mistake to assume that just because the dominant religions in a country or time are rife with superstitious drivel, that religion requires it.
As it happens, the question you asked was answered in the article you linked. They -do- describe the sense of awe, wonder, mystery and purpose -spirituality- as human emotions and needs. It's because of this fact that spirituality is capable of effecting people, and people are capable of effecting children through it. There's no reason that it has to effect them for the worse.

I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
