This is a good place for you to get a couple different books catering to kids, read with him, then discuss it.

That's what my parents did, and they did it with a Jewish bent, but they fucked up by giving me as much science and history as I wanted too.

Teaching him that people may believe a bunch of things, but that no one can really know (yet) and that it's okay to not know really IS the best thing for you to teach him. Because then he won't be subject to the fallacy many other people fall in when science doesn't know something YET.

It's okay to not know. And it's okay to break the superiority barrier between him and adults and let him know that they don't know everything. That'll cure him of listening to their shite. Just make sure he's polite about it. We sailed past my Episcopalian side of the family that way.
