The very crux of the Abrahamic religions is faith, which has nothing to do with any of the sciences at all. People can grow up to believe religion, because they probably have a different understanding of the tenants than you grew up believing that's far less unbelievable. I'm sorry you can't control yourself with Christians, sounds like a personal problem. Perhaps it starts with determining that someone is willfully ignorant and stupid because they don't believe what you do (or more precisely in more than you do as atheism is a lack of belief)?
Teaching ANYTHING non-factual to small children is preposterous, in any environment, including “bible school”. People that grow up still believing religion were indoctrinated as children and have an extreme fear of death that can only be ameliorated by having “faith” that death is not final.
