   Why?   
   Surely diversity is better than homogeneity in this matter.   
   Let those who believe in God convey that beliefs to their children and   
   those who do not do the same. If it actually matters one or the other   
   will die out, replaced by the other in the long term through natural   
   selection. If it doesn't matter, why are you worried about it?
