No, we can't do that. We don't have objectivity. It would fail. A true believer would state it in a way you and I could never do so.
I'd rather introduce my girls to real believers, let them talk to them, begin to indoctrinate them ever so slightly, and then take them home and discuss.
We'd come off like, "Ok, some retards actually believe this shit..."
Of course we wouldn't say that, or have the tone of our voice imply that, at least to the best of our ability. But humans are really amazingly good at detecting even the slightest hint of deception. And 99% of us humans miserably fail at trying to hide bias.
Exposure to true believers and then ask them piercing questions. I think, and this is just my opinion, should be the most effective way of approaching religion with your kids.
Everything I needed to know about life I learned on Dagobah.
