You could say that about anything destructive a child is taught at a young age. Racism, homophobia and other forms of ignorance can all exist independent of religion.
Once again I agree, but we don't teach these things in school, where as religion is taught as a fact ( or lots of facts depending on which faith school) in faith schools.
I think the facts we teach our children should be the kind based on evidence and solid science, not dogma.
