Okay, I will give a serious answer. Children should learn age-appropriate content about religion the same way they should learn about sex. Learning that STDs will ruin your life comes before discovering Tantric bliss techiques. Being taught scary bible stories came long before exposure to nuanced theological speculations.

(At least that's how it happened for me...which of course means that it seems normal and natural to me projecting that on to the world.) :-)
