You seem to be particularly concerned with the effect of religion on children. As I mentioned in another thread, I am a former Sunday School teacher of a youth group in the United Church of Canada. In our teaching we used to emphasize 3 things:
1. Love - God, themselves and their neighbour
2. Serve or help others, especially those in need. Here we used the 3 "t"'s. They could do this by giving their time, talents and treasure (money).
3. Always tell the truth

As mentioned above...none of what you say here can be attributed specifically to Christians...as an ex Sunday School teacher why cant you explain further what I asked before?
As far as "good Christian ethics" goes...would you care to cite a few of the specific ethics attributable to Christians?
I certainly go out of my way to help my fellow man, neighbor, or stranger, always.
I serve many by volunteering on a regular basis and Chairing more than one organization that help thousands of individuals. I also donate to Charity regularily.
I try to tell the truth always. (There are times when you must bend the rule slightly if it might actually hurt someone)
None of this is an attribute of any theistic dogma...it is standard morals we are born with and good upbringing....oh and yes, children are my number one priority.
What are the "well documented" Christian attributes?
