My own daughter is 17 in January and went to a catholic school despite not being catholic (it has the best exam results at the time we were looking around). She is now at college and doing R.E. as one of her A-Levels. Despite all this, I *think* she identifies as an atheist or at the most an agnostic. During her upbringing I wasn't even sure on my own position on theism so don't think i persuaded her either way. Overall I tried to make her question everything in life (regretting that in some scenarios now she's of the age she is!) and not accept what other people claim until she'd looked into it herself and made her own decisions.
I think If you teach them to think logically and question everything you are giving them the equivalent of "teach a man to fish", but for belief and knowledge.
