I covered that : Religion needn't be taught in a preachy way. It can be taught as information about what some people believe, just like with history, and with culture. As such, it's fine to teach it to young kids because it's not done in a preachy way, merely as information about what some people believe. That's very reasonable, just as it is with history and culture, and if you disagree then it must be because you have a fear that teaching kids about religion merely as information about what some people believe will lead to those kids deciding, of their own accord, without being forced, that they wish to pursue a religion. That's basically what it boils down to, you simply fear that there will be more people who believe in something which you don't believe in, whilst ignoring the obvious fact that anything can be easily taught in a non preachy way.
