I do feel as though objective teaching, in place of indoctrination, would be a good thing. However, too many people would object that their religious freedom is being stolen from them. (Well, you're taking away your child's religious freedom by instilling lies in them from the moment they are born. Ever think of the children? No, you only think about yourself and your beliefs... *mini-rant at religious parents over*)
Another thing is that children have a lot more information available to them in these days, and as well as being exposed to more media, which is rather liberal. Even they're (we're?) being more exposed to things that traditionally go against religious teachings. For example, Disney Channel showed a lesbian couple as *gasp* friendly, and non-threatening. So, yes, I do see religion declining.
