Children are taught to believe religion... they don't come out of the womb with a kippah on their head.

just as they are taught to believe in the easter bunny and santa clause no doubt.
Exactly. Unfortunately (for our children) quite a few parents don't realize god is just another of those fantasies (like Santa and The Easter Bunny) and then insist on telling their kids it's the truth. So the cycle continues.

God may be a fantasy to you perhaps, but to many people he is not.
So even if those parents are wrong, they are not deliberately telling their kids a falsehood...unlike christmas and easter which are just blatent lies parents tell, correct?
How many of your adult friends still believe in Santa?
Kids grow out of fantasies like that because society sits them down and says (teaches them):
"Hey, Santa isn't real, it's made up by humans so that you will behave yourself".
Unfortunately for our kids, we don't do the same with other made up things, like God.

Re: Jesus WAS God in earliest NT teaching
Exactly, we should let the kids know the facts.
It just so happens that the facts line up with evolution much more closely than a magic man in the sky.

Re: Jesus WAS God in earliest NT teaching
Believing there's a man in the sky sitting on a throne of magic...not sure I can't say that's a fools game.
