I tell them about God because I believe it's good for them. If your kids asked you about God, would you tell them that most people believe in him and that they can make up their own minds, or would you tell them that you don't believe that there is a God? Of course we pass our own values and beliefs on to our children. We want what is best for them.
Except what is factually good for your children -- shots, for example -- cannot be compared to indoctrinating them with ideas and beliefs, which does not bring them any factual good and can do quite a lot of harm which is difficult to reverse.
