It's only rational behaviour until you realize that the basis for your behaviour is all a lie. FWIW, I suspect if I have kids I will teach them about religion. Religion is real, even if it teaches things that aren't.

You can't disprove all Gods, but you can disprove some Gods. Like the ones who are benevolent, omnipotent and omniscient. Can't be all three or we'd all be in Heaven.
