Do you think that atheists are at home teaching their children about the bible as well as well humanism, allowing them to decide? Muslims teaching their children about atheism? Generally children are smart, but you start giving them too many options and they aren't going to know what to do with them. I recognize that you said we should raise our children in a religious vacuum, only introducing religion when they are old enough to comprehend religion, but there's much that we say and do in everyday life that would have to stop first... how many times do you say "holy ____" or "Jesus Christ" in a day? What are you going to say when your child asks what holy is, or who Jesus Christ is without bringing religion into the conversation. And every household will have their own version of dogma that they teach, if even accidentally.
