Different POV, I guess.

Most theists do in fact teach their children their particular flavor of religion. Through, baptismals, communions, Sunday School, Camps, Bible studies etc etc etc the list goes on and on...children have no choice but to learn this stuff.
Now you assume that theists automatically follow an organized religion. Which isn't exactly true. I do agree that Christian parents will take their children to church...sunday school, etc, etc....but if you understand religion...or Christianity for that matter...you'd know there is a whole lot more to that belief then just going to church.

Atheists have none of the above...although there are some summer camps popping up teaching kids things like science.
I would suggest any theist who doesnt teach their kids their beliefs are not true theists in the 1st place. Perhaps agnostics with a capital A.
Yet atheists can tell their children...there is no God..I don't believe in God...I won't tell you that a God 'could' exist..etc, etc. Just like a Christian can tell their kids...God is this...God is that.
