I don't think religious teaching to children can be banned, at least no in the U.S. The First Amendment would definitely get in the way.

I suggest that we go about it the other way round and teach comparative religion in the schools beginning in grade school. Nothing like showing off all the idiocy.
If there is a god, I want to believe that there is a god.  If there is not a god, I want to believe that there is no god.
