Do you think we should wait until a child is in their teens to discuss the issue?

Teens? No.

Young kids, especially under 8, yes. Unless they bring up the subject of religion, which they're likely to encounter at school, anyway.

I think kids should be brought up to think for themselves.

Edit. Forgot the 30/30 rule. Link removed.
