We start em young, telling them about a big red omniscient fairy that happens to be a present toting moral busybody. I've always thought that the worst thing you could catch at a church (child or otherwise) is a communicable disease. Anything else we're likely to have brought -into- the church with us.
Sounds to me like your children have left the point at which a firm totalitarian hands application might do some good. They have thoughts, lol. Gonna have to let em work it out for themselves now, eh? But my opinion is meh, none of my kids have reached that point. I'm hoping that I'll be the worst example of bigotry and intolerance imaginable, burning their little crucifix and wiping my ass with the Holy Babble......but I'll probably disappoint myself and gently allow them to explore their own opinions on the matter.
