No need for me to inject a god or any other unifying force to teach my children how to be good people.

I don't doubt you are doing a good job, as a parent, in teaching your children how to be good people. However, you and I both know this does not always happen in the home, for whatever reason. Often kids are left to develop a less desirable sense of ethics and morality through exposure to bad parenting.
Whether they learn the things outlined above in the home, with or without God, or at Church with God, I'm alright with.
My point is that Church's do good things for children, especially for those that are disadvantaged by poor conditions at home.
